Was feisty really ready to release ?

[Art Edwards]

I have read this thread and I think that the release came too early. I
have spent years with debian and more often releases is more attractive,
especially for hardware compatibility issues. However, when the install
dies consistently you've got some significant problems. Also, no
developers in the ubuntu commiunity are owning this problem. There is no
response in this list that says "we know there's a problem and we're
working on it."
