I somewhat disagree, and I think the frustration you have is partly due to the
technical limitations of the upgrade process that you've experienced. While I
respect your opinion for wanting a slower moving release, others would probably
disagree. I for one would love to see the latest desktop advances. That's not to
say either of us is wrong to want that, more like some thought needed to figure
out how to handle the various preferences of our userbase.
The slower moving release will be called "Solaris". :-)
