I understant the given reasons, and agree that right now is too late. But I think that there is one issue to consider for further releases: There are, AFAIK, 3 component used by virtually every user: Desktop, Office Suite, and Web Browser. Those 3 components should be included in alphas, or beta versions of ubuntu when they reach a point like RC or even beta, in order to start integrating, finding and solving possibe bugs, that will even help to get those projects released on time.
You do it right now with GNOME, You did it once with Firefox, You should consider do it also for OpenOffice.org from now and on. Any other component, can be treated different, like gimp for example, is used by many users but not for everyone..... -- [Request] OpenOffice.org 3.0 in Intrepid Backports https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267376 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
