This, though, has been much less of a problem since they finally kicked
Sarge out of the nest.  One of the major boosts to Ubuntu in the early days
was the thought of getting regular and frequent version upgrades.  Sarge
waited _years_ for release, and many of us early Ubuntu adopters chose
Ubuntu because we thought Sarge would never be released.  I'm still
subscribed to debian-announce, and they seem to be back on track.
