Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
hi there!
The good thing about the ubuntu distro releases is that the collection
of software and system software is tested and works great. at the other
side there are applications which aren't system critical and so have not
to be "fixed" to specific distro releases.
my suggestion is a semi-rolling release circle which means that just a list of
selected software has a rolling release circle.
for example applications like Firefox, Chromium, Gimp, Filezilla, LibreOffice
could be rolled out on new version and not just on new security fix or distro
version.
Everything that is "system" specific continues like it is, everything
common and highly user experience depended applications (like Browsers)
get rolled out just on time.
And in the Software Centre a user can switch off the rolling release for
these applications. selecting which applications get rolling and which
not.
Advantage:
- Ubuntu users always FEEL up to date although basic system keeps being the same
- PPAs will not be miss-used as alternative installation
