Comment 2 for bug 148976

Well, I think blue|palm has summed up a problem, which affects many intensive Linux users. Many user would benefit more from ubuntu, if it was released in one year release cycle and the current stable release would be actively supported with upstream upgrades of application software and driver updates.

A good example is ATI's binary driver, which is of a tremendously poor quality. Many users suffer from the deficiencies of this driver and even if ATI released a new driver version, most ubuntu users would now benfit from this new driver, because the software versions are frozen.
