There have been cases in the past where the schedules didn't align perfectly, and we really wanted to get ahead of the game, so we released with a late beta, and then got SRUs (stable release upgrade approval) to move to the final release *after* the Ubuntu final release. This isn't great though, especially for non-LTS releases because they have shorter lifecycles and no point releases. Cheers, -Barry
