I don't mind a Xubuntu LTS-only policy so long as a few other Ubuntu
flavors maintain intermediate releases. Have other Ubuntu flavors
discussed going to LTS only? With intermediate releases, it's
possible to mix and match different ppa's to create hybrid systems.
<br>
<br>
For example: I download newer kernels at a faster pace than 16.04
LTS through the canonical-kernel-team ppa. I've set this ppa to
yakkety. I'm at 4.6.x now versus 4.4.x. I prefer downloading
kernels ahead of the curve. I don't mind having to fix a few minor
faults now and then to maintain a more advanced kernel system. <br>
<br>
I've always thought that LTS was for users who prefer stability over
experimentation. Experimenters like myself do exist, however.
Perhaps Xubuntu is not right for me because most Xubuntu users would
be better served by LTS only. Perhaps it is time for an
experimenter's xfce environment to leave the Canonical suite and
become its own distribution. <br>

<div>I have one suggestion to make: the perceived quality of
the "brand" Xubuntu can perhaps be improved when the only
codebase is Ubuntu LTS and its point releases. So no more
short-lived intermediate releases. Comparable with the
release policy that Linux Mint has adopted in 2014.<br>

<div>Keep up the good work! I's being appreciated by more
people than you might realize. :-)<br>
