Chris, Ubuntu has come with a claim that was new to me (I'm no primer to
Linux, too) when looking on Linux, where I was used to it as Windoze
user for long: Simplicity to use. Period. Not only for some freaks but
for the typical user who just desperately believes he will really get
what he sees. And after my first impressions of Ubuntu, I admit, I was
impressed: It really was that simple. And with Edgy, I dared to
recommend it for exactly this sort of persons.  Now, only one release
later, I'm proven wrong.

None of the freaks ever needed an automatic update service, did you?
That's for those simple users around! But the most important requirement
for any automatic service is stability. Nothing else but stability.

I think you are right: It really is sort of philosophy. But exactly this
philosophy seems to have changed: Stability obviously is no longer the
ultimate criterion for some of those who decide what to include into a
"stable" release, just being too nosy about always having the latest of
every single package. Even if it required a little bit of manual
administration.

I agree, that I have to accept this where it is about a community driven
project. But however, I think it's a pity.
