I think we're rather spoiled for choice, if one takes a step back and a
wider view for a moment.
I've been through the Win/Mac griller using DAWs, notation, etc, for a
living, for quite a few years, and the delight i had when i found
linux.UBStudio. RT, Jackdmp,Linuxsampler, Rosegarden,Ardour, Jconv, etc...
was formidable. No port limitations, native 64bit, etc... Wonderful stuff
for a middle aged classical music composer. (Been a tuxer for 9 months
now...never going back....)

So i don't see a problem with skipping a release, and taking a bit of time
tidying up and updating some of the apps in the repo. I actually think
that's a very good idea, and maybe the time out from hammering away trying
to do so much, with so few (I can't code, and that's a regret that i
continue to feel), will give the UBStudio team, and associated helpers, a
chance to catch their breath, and focus on the no doubt lengthy list of
smaller less glamorous jobs that they do, voluntarily, for us.

Time for pizza and cognac fellas, you've earned it imho.

My continued thanks for an excellent distro, and tools that actually work,
all day, every day. (Using Hardy here, and never more satisfied with the
stability and performance)

Regards,

Alex Stone.

p.s. Upgrading isn't compulsory..... :)
