Comment 1168 for bug 1

Sorry, getting a bit tooo tense lol. Many apols for my last posting!

Hopefully LTS releases get pushed more at the beginning of their cycle but as the new one approaches the intermediate releases are more "trendy" and more likely to "wow" people.

Certainly it seemed that 80.04 was pushed much more heavily until about 9.10. I think it's reasonable to hop releases, perhaps do an annual upgrade. The great thing is that you are GIVEN the choice. You are NOT FORCED to keep upgrading. Each release is supported for 18months!!

As keeps on drearily being pointed out if you were only allowed to buy 1 type of food all the time, say you were only allowed to eat apples, and only ones that were picked at a certain date. As time went by the prospect of eating the ageing apples would wear a bit thin & eventually surely you would be outraged?

If there was only 1 movie or 1 tele series then how often woul you want to go to the movies or watch tele?

If there was only 1 type of shirt that you were allowed to buy & only 1 size available then how happy would everyone be with that?

Only 1 flavour of ice-cream. Only 1 colour of skin? How acceptable would that be?

We need diversity for healthy reasons, to avoid dying of boredom. Shaking things up is good. If someone hadn't shaken a certain tree on a certain day then would graphitti exist today? Intractable problems are often solved by someone taking a fresh perspective. How can we hope to generate fresh perspective if everything stays the same?

Diversity breeds success!
