Comment 10 for bug 283137

Yes. U right, Benjamin. I think the policy so weird for me. LTS not
get update the important software for daily office working???? It's
for daily working, right?

Please, don't thinking only for server. This is for desktop. And many2
company want to use this. Why Windows always get update the last
version. But for Ubuntu, we hvn't yet?

I'm worry about this. Some of our user asking because Windows user
already hv OO3.1. But LTS still 2.4. Is this Ubuntu? Special for old
software?

Come on ...
