However many small companies can't pay a competent enough sysadmin. It's why they often choose what seems for them the most simple solution. I certainly don't know which is the best for a distro, but as long as there will be so much sweat and "fear" about upgrading a distro, there will be this recurrent discussion. I know that they have not as much users as mandriva do, and also they are young, but unity linux started with the idea of a small core with long term release, and branches that add packages such as desktop, wm, de etc. that can have a short term release. Just telling that for the discussion, not that this is what to do :)
