That's unfortunate. Ubuntu in particular is linux flavor of up to date and full featured. Stability and legacy support isn't really what they're all about. I wonder why is it that all notable linux os unite and make one fully featured and legacy supported and security centric and all the other features.
Just cause it's open source doesn't mean we can't structure ourselves properly and get the best out of the available talents and resources.
