I am one of those who DO WANT an LTS release :D Ubuntu GNOME is great, I can NOT wait 2 more years to see an LTS of this great system. I am putting so much blood, sweat and tears into this. Not only me, there are many great people around doing the same. We just need 'more' people. I will do whatever it takes to have an LTS version for Ubuntu GNOME and I do mean whatever it takes :) Thank you! P.S. Yes indeed. You are one of the great testers of our system and BIG thanks for that. I wish you will carry on and support this for this release and the coming ones :) -- Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us."
