I believe that is correct. The development starts after the release of an
Ubuntu.,
,
The only thing that will bring it out earlier is if there is enough money to
pay a full time developer. Otherwise whoever is working on it is going to
have other obligations which come before.,
,
The benefit to not having short term releases of Trisquel would mainly be
less work for Rubén Rodríguez.,
,
I'd rather see a few packages get backported and tested thoroughly than a new
release every 6 months. Change is difficult for the majority and a 3 year
release cycles gives people the opportunity to learn the system. Physical
printed books can be released for instance and better documentation will
spring up.,
,
Are there any packages backported in Ubuntu/Trisquel? I can only think of
maybe one example. That would be Firefox. The other might be ar9170 firmware
for Trisquel 4.0.1 a few releases back. Rubén Rodríguez did the ar9170. I
guess he does firefox too as it isn't the same as the one Ubuntu uses.
