I don't think the problem here is with "Large hosting companies not having made their scripts etc. good enough". I don't think it has anything to do with size, or the type of company, or even the activity. I believe that the short life cycles of our stable releases is a problem for *MANY* companies. Dreamhost is the tree hiding the forest.

We asked Debian to be added. I hope that Debian will be added as a non-voting gating one day. I'll try to push for that to happen. > DreamHost is a player in > OpenStack, so it may be that the momentum of Ubuntu plus OpenStack is > just too great to ignore with the added pain of the 2 year upgrade > treadmill. > > I will ask them when I visit their offices at the next OpenStack LA > meetup. :) Well, yes. But also OpenStack release cycles are even shorter than Debian! Only a year, then the old stable is not supported anymore. It doesn't make sense that Dreamhost is complaining about 2 years of security support, when they are now in the "upgrade every 6 months" OpenStack stuff... If they join me and become supporters of a kind of "LTS" for OpenStack, that'd be great, and I would be very supportive of it.
