If they do that, Ubuntu will FAIL. If you get a stable release, more or less 
up-to-date, every 6 month, that's fine.

If you want the latest release of a program, get the source and compile it. 
This "I want the latest thing" race kills the big distributions. I agree 
Debian is slow to update, but then they make a distribution for servers.

Distributions like Ubuntu or Mepis build on the unstable/testing branch. 
However, they should publish a release, not a beta.
