As the LibreOffice maintainer I am very happy to hear this, for a set of reasons, but since so many have already been covered, let me just focus on the two most essential: - while the upstream release plan was explicitly crafted to arrive with a good release before feature freeze in the upcoming Ubuntu release, such tight interlocking leaves little room for errors or corrections. Like with aircraft liftoff there is a decision point (V1) after which a new LibreOffice major release essentially has to go in, no matter what happens. The tight interlocking of schedules made this point essentially the UDS at the begin of the cycle and then allowed for no flexibility afterwards. - The number of both supported Ubuntu releases and upstream releases (with backports in the PPA) made regression tracking and finding a pain. When you multiply one current upstream major, one stable upstream major and one upstream major we released an Ubuntu series with the number of supported Ubuntu releases, I think its easy to understand the problem. Lets get rolling! Best, Bjoern -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
