Metrics aside, how has this cycle fared in your eyes in regards to quality? This is a twofold question. How do you feel about the milestone release quality? Secondly, how do you feel about the daily archive and state of quality in the quantal desktop? I've left the questions broad to gather opinions. Quickly, I'll give you my opinion that the daily quality has been good; not quite up to par as precise (when honestly it didn't even feel like a development version for most of the cycle) but much better than in times past. I've encountered some good bugs which have been fixed (or at least noted in lp!), but nothing showstopping or preventing me from working. The biggest detriment to usability was apport not working for several weeks, not allowing me to report crashes and bugs I was encountering. The milestone quality is a bit harder to diagnose. In some ways, it's better and we've avoided respins. In other ways, I get the feeling folks are quite uncomfortable with the releases. Thoughts? Nicholas </body> </html>
