Bryce, thanks for the update.

I'm glad that some fixes are being deployed in Intrepid, but I just wish
some of them would be backported to this LTS release. There doesn't seem
to be to much confidence about these Java fixes, never mind not even
knowing (ETA) about when the real fixes could be applied. As it stands
now, I can't deploy hardy with confidence, and have to wait to Intrepid
and then follow the non-LTS releases.

Older, proprietary apps *do* break, this is fact. Hardy is still
relatively young, and most people don't care/can't be bothered to file
bugs, so they won't show up here. I have an install of IDL and UT2004
that do not work under hardy, but fine under previous versions.

I love Ubuntu for its polish and fixing all the corner cases in typical
user experiences. I hope Canonical doesn't feel they have to re-
architect core systems (libx11, pulse audio) just to stay "hip and
modern." "Just works" is a really strong point for Ubuntu.

Or at the very least, keep the experiments to the non-LTS releases.

Thanks again.
