Obviously, the team is totally overwhelmed by bugs. Look for example at bug #459067: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/ 459067> Introduced last week, this bug requires me to go to the keyboard manager after each reboot before I can make use of the keyboard. Yet is is considered as "Importance low", means, "likely never fixed intentionally". All those regressions make me start to think about _why_ I use cutting edge Ubuntu. It's not for the perhaps improved audio stack, it's not for the no longer working keyboard, it is to get recent versions of high level applications like Abiword, Scribus, VNC, ... you name it. Considering this, it's most likely I'd better go with keeping an older Ubuntu and getting those modern applications from independent sources, PPAs or manually installed packages. Even if this is totally against the idea of having release cycles first place, it looks to me like the path to the best bug/feature ratio of my overall system.
