Ahahah. That means nothing, really. Who committed to LTS of that version is Canonical/Ubuntu, not Enlightenment. Imagine a scenario where some crazy dude says he has a distribution with 20 year support, we'll try to match?! Also, two key problems with your rationale of rant: - if Ubuntu committed to LTS, it's their duty to fix stuff for their distro. -- back ports - they won't back port EFL as its a new addition and they don't support this (as expected, they do LTS for stuff they released in April 2010) -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: [email protected] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Java SE, Java EE, Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, JavaScript, jQuery and much more.
