As we all know, Trisquel is a side project for Ruben as he spends the
majority of his time at his full time job. With Trisquel moving to an LTS
model, it introduced stability to the project but at the same time, allows
Ruben to sit on things for a while while he concentrates on his career.
How much have you contributed to the Trisquel to feel entitled to criticize
quidam for his supposed lack of involvement?
Why aren't you a member? https://trisquel.info/member
Why haven't you ever donated a cent? https://trisquel.info/donate
You want quidam to work full time on Trisquel but expects him to live from
thin air?
For a long time, people have been asking for many things. Some want an
updated ISO (7.01 or 7.1) so they can install it on their system with more up
to date packages and the backported kernel and xorg packages enabled by
default.
*You* have been repeatedly asking. This is the fourth thread you open on that
topic in a few months:
https://trisquel.info/forum/please-release-trisquel-71-and-start-8-development
https://trisquel.info/forum/ubuntu-14043-out-lets-consider-upgraded-trisquel-7-iso-now
https://trisquel.info/forum/thoughts-trisquel-71-based-ubuntu-14043-release-july-or-august
An updated ISO allows to save some download during/after the first original
install. I personally do not see it as a priority. I can wait one hour to get
an updated system after a new install of Trisquel (that most users do once:
they then dist-upgrade). And it is not like you cannot use the system during
that time. In particular, it is an hour one can spend customizing the
applications of her newly installed system.
The desktop environment needs an overhaul. The current fallback isn't working
for many people as many users here have opted for straight up Gnome Shell,
XFCE, Unity, and MATE.
That recent thread clearly shows that no desktop environment will satisfy
every user and that many users are very happy with the current choice:

Trisquel peaked visually in the 4.0 and 5.0 days with the Gnome 2 look and
the current solution just isn't working.
It does. At least for many users.
