Given that Ubuntu hasn't made a single release since 7.04 that hasn't
had major regressions on at least one of the PCs in my house (as of
10.10, there is this bug, as well as broken wireless on my laptop that
previously worked in 10.04) every release cycle, what makes you think
they would be smart enough to do that?

The quality control in Ubuntu is a joke. It really is.
