As usual, LTS lagging behind in picking up important bugs .... just as we've seen recently in NTP ... and MySQL ... and and and ....

Get a grip Ubuntu ! All well and good going on about the "stability" of LTS, but I'd rather have a "stable and usable" system rather than a "stable an unusable" one !

I'm trying to get Postfix under 16.04 running so I can decommission some older 14.04/12.04 instances. It is frustrating that what should normally be a relativley simple and quick job be transformed into one that has to be put onto the backburner for days on end !

Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't dump Ubuntu entirely. The 16.04LTS release has been so buggy and error prone, to this day, I fail to understand why a *default* install of 16.04 instists on activating and running the mdadm and LXC services when surely they should be both blatantly be optional items, as both running RAID and Virtualisation are blatantly optional tasks !
