I understand that. I just think that the increased compatibility with
MS APIs (and consequently MS software), the VB8 compiler, the full
debugger, WinForms enhancements, reduced memory usage, and the list of
fixed bugs from the release notes would be a good thing to have in the
next Ubuntu release.
I am sure that if it's not included, it'll be backported at least
unofficially sometime soon.
When you mentioned that they have a history of bad releases, what
precisely did you mean, just out of curiosity?
