12.10 is beta, right?

Ubuntu is a consistent work in progress. After every major release they take the code base and extend it with certain goals. There are 2 major releases a year each with goals to meet.

The time between releases has daily (sometimes twice a day) builds with changes. We test the changes and submit problems we have.

There are no betas in the conventional sense.   Just rolling builds.

12.10 is going to be released in a number of weeks. So if there is an issue with API from GTK3 not playing with GTK2 nice someone (from lazarus) should file a report so when 12.10 comes out - Lazarus 1.1 will compile and work as Lazarus users need.

From a business standpoint, imo, Lazarus is the best thing for Linux, so targeting the best distro for maximum quality is very wise. It is acceptable if some distros don't work well - but it is imperative that the top distros are supported with quality.

// optional reading as it maybe offensive to some :-)

Ubuntu is the high-end linux distro - as it compares to OSX and Windows 7. Meaning graphics, video performance, and bloat-ware installed. If comparing linux distros via a minimalist "lens" the evaluation result may be different. But for industry comparisons - bloated desktops - it is superior.
