Thanks for commenting. I realise I submitted this a little late for
Jaunty, but I think it's still a worthwhile thing to consider,
especially for Karmic.

It all boils down to what most of the people using pre-release Ubuntu
distributions are doing. Some of them are, of course, going to be very
proactive about testing and bug reporting and running updates manually
multiple times a day. I've been in that group before and doubtless will
be again; it all depends on how much time I can spare. For this release,
I'm in the other group: I want to submit bugs and get testing done, but
I don't currently have a lot of time to dedicate to it. So I installed
Jaunty as soon as it was stable enough not to be unusable (on my primary
laptop, but only after the secondary system was fully synced and ready
just in case) and started using it. I've kept this system updated
manually roughly every three to four days, but that's not been often
enough to submit decent bugs for some of the problems I've had. I'd be
very surprised if I were alone in doing this. It sounds like you don't
actually know the figures yourself - which would suggest that the
*safest* option is the shorter period.

[Jaunty] Updating every seven days is inimical to the process of turning a beta 
system into a production system.
