Well this is becoming quite sterile. I don't know how you can claim to represent (let alone "decide") "how [we] users function" better than anybody else. Unless you are the only user, of course :-) I would also point out that the listed requirements will have varying importances depending on the software and the use case. For example, a crashy basesystem or X server is very much a critical issue. On the other hand, I personally don't care if KDE is crashy since I don't use it. And even for some applications that I use (e.g. Brasero), I can use an alternative if it's not reliable enough. Similarly, I may want the latest version of a piece of software because it has some important feature or improvement (e.g. performance improvement). On the other hand I won't care about the latest Evolution version because the current one has all I need. So "I want the latest software" is not something I can either agree or disagree with: it's simply too vague. etc., etc. Regards Antoine.
