Trisquel 7.0 is dated now. Trisquel 8.0 is overdue, still unreleased and will
be outdated if it ever is released, as it is based on a Ubuntu LTS which is
soon to be superceded.
I think many people would agree that Ruben doesn't have the time he needs to
continue to maintain Trisquel as it currently exists. It should therefor
change to a rolling release distribution model or another maintainer should
be found to either assist or replace Ruben.
Has it been stated somewhere that a prolonged release schedule is part of
Trisquel's philosophy? If so, what is the rationale behind that? If not, is
there some considerable advantage to being so far behind in development to
outweigh the bugfixes?
Sadly, I am coming to a conclusion that Trisquel is a zombie project. Nothing
puts it out of its misery. It still keeps lumbering on, but to what end? The
sap has ceased to rise. Trisquel is doing more to block vibrant growth in the
Free software community. It needs to be reinvograted or removed.
