It gets a lot of attention and focus, but it doesn't have the QA process that Debian has when migrating their testing release to stable. The primary focus is to release LTS every two years in April. Only once was this held back, in 2006. At XMission, we run Ubuntu LTS servers, but we make it a point to wait for a .1 release before upgrading to the next LTS. More often than not, the initial LTS release is fairly buggy. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
