I also vote for the upgrade to Dapper. As others have said, Dapper is the LTS version of *buntu, so it should get the stability and functionality updates that would come from upgrading to a final version of a piece of software ( e.g. Xfce4.4 Final compared to the Xfce4.4-Beta1 version that was on the initial release of Dapper). Also, are most Edgy users going to notice the difference between Xfce4.4-RC1 and the final release? Probably not. Besides, any Edgy user who wants Xfce4.4-Final could compile it themselves or just wait 6 months for Feisty Fawn (which should probably include an even more-recent release of Xfce . . . ).

I also vote for Dapper update... it is a LTS release after all...
Personally I may even skip Edgy and update to Feisty in April... at
least I do not see any strong reason to switch to Edgy at the
moment... Though I guess for Xubuntu it should be more substantial
improvement than for Ubuntu is general...
