Every wednesday should be a HUG DAY!

[Gabriel M Dragffy]

Personally I'd prefer if Dapper got re-released instead of Edgy, with
the bugs fixed, then I'd have a system worth LTS. As it happens every 6
months new stuff and technology gets added and so do thousands more
bugs. I just want a system with so few bugs I can leave it installed for
the next 3 years (LTS for Dapper, right?). I dread the thought of
changing from Dapper to Edgy to fix bugs because I know that Edgy will
be riddled the little blighters too. Or atleast change the release
schedule to 9 months or a year :)
