Nothing wrong with 10.10 - I am now running it on my computer, and only 
a few minutes ago I finished installing it on my wife's computer.

This LTS nomenclature is just a furphy as far as I am concerned. It may 
be of use to people who install LTS as a server in a work environment 
but it doesn't mean a thing for a home user. Especially since the idea 
of a "rolling upgrades" has just been floated.
