"So, this is not a bug, but rather a proposal to dramatically realign some core principles about how we develop software."
of course it is a bug. If it feels bad, weired, confusing, old... whatever... then it is a bug. The intention of that kind of release is good, but in practice people like to have the newest version of their daily used applications. All graphic editors, video editors, IDE, Office stuff and browsers must be up to date. Let me explain why: 1.- Ubuntu wants to be fresh and new - It's in contra of the current release circle 2.- Someone wants to stay with the LTS for stability. That's understandable, but has to wait 2 years for an upgrade of its browser?? 3.- You can't expect that everyone wants to upgrade the whole system every 6 month just to get the newsest browser and Office Suite 4.- PPA adding (manual or automatic) is a mess... too complicated in general. A user wants to see that there is the new version of its browsers and to say YES. that's all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578045 Title: Upgrading packaged Ubuntu application unreasonably involves upgrading entire OS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/578045/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
