Bug Description
It would be nice to start a project like Debian volatile, specially since Dapper will be out there for 5 years.
From their site (http://
"Some packages aim at fast moving targets like spam filtering and virus scanning, and even via using updated virus patterns, this doesn't really work for the full time of a stable release. The main issue of volatile is to allow system administrators to update their systems in a nice, consistent way without getting the drawbacks of using unstable, even without getting the drawback for the selected packages."

Thanks for your report. This sounds like a good idea. This is not where you should place such requests though -your idea might get more attention and have the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a specification for this.
You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs /launchpad. net/distros/ ubuntu/ +specs) in Launchpad. If suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec /wiki.ubuntu. com/FeatureSpec ifications.
