And you think microsoft products are bug free? there are not
Tuesday patch application marathons? I think that the mismatch between
your expectations and reality might indeed be the cause of merriment in
many.

*Shrug*. Again, your expectations do not seem to match reality
as it exists. Packages on repos are often unchanged, unless there is a
security bug, in which case, _other_, newer packages are added to the
security site.
Package updates happen when people move to do the work. I have
often found that sometimes the person doing the work needs to be
oneself; and then feeding back the work to the community makes it all
go around.

Err, I guess then there is no point for them to move to anything
else, is there?. All these stories I read about botnets now containing
several millions of machines must be all irrelevant, somehow.
