I will be sticking to the long term releases

This is to tell you that, as an experiment, I would be only giving 
priority to bugs for the latest long term Ubuntu release. In contrast of 
doing for the latest regular release, as I have been doing till now.

The importance of this is that setting priorities is actually what tells 
us which bugs render the operating system broken, so it is a critical 
part of its stability.

This is to warn you that I won't be doing that in regular releases, at 
least for a while, what potentially could render those more unstable 
than usual. Currently I am who is setting priorities to most bugs in Ubuntu.

The reason why I am doing this experiment is because I suspect that, 
even when having a constant flow of innovation in applications is good, 
components which other software depend on need a fixed specification for 
a while for the applications to be robust. And this is better served by 
a frequency of change of two years than six months.
