Comment 11 for bug 578045

@Alexander

Stability is taken into consideration (for example i doubt they will offer alpha or beta software). But the point here is to give users choice.

Like in every other OS, the user is used to choosing which version he wants / needs.

He/she can either stay with what he has, update to the new, or un-install and revert back just in case.

Right now the LTS has software that's almost 2 years old... Hunting down PPAs is not fun, obvious or friendly to new users.

From the blueprints the plans and actions taken will not totally solve the problem of course, but its a good start and should greatly improve the situation if done correctly.
