Upgrading to Edgy Eft

[Gabriel Dragffy]

IMO this list serves people much better by concentrating on the problems
with the current stable release. Posting problems about unstable is
ridiculous, I vote that things like that should go to
launchpad/ubuntu-dev. I don't want to hear that lib6c is broken in a
version that hasn't even been released yet. Then the next day something
is broken in lib7c or something stupid. What useful purpose does it
serve on this list?
