Yes, because users will understand that what they get from universe is
on the same reliable six-month release cycle as the rest of Ubuntu (so
the longest you'll have to wait for new software is six months), and the
developer community can spend time fixing and syncing stuff in universe
that matters to them (or our users).

The reliable six-month release cycle is a critical feature for both
users and developers, and applies to *all* of Ubuntu, not just 'main'.

Thanks,
