Now we all wished Canonical spent more time developing its operating system rather than having a release every 6 months right? well they pushed it up to every month. (source) Now, in my honest opinion, ubuntu is the most stable Gnome desktop I’ve used (yes i’ve tried Zorin OS & Linux Mint) despite unity! now, i have no clue what type of changes are going into Ubuntu but just getting a patch for the apt exploit 2 months late doesn’t sound good to me & one of my desktops were affected by it(no need to worry though). Now i know everyone will throw out the argument, “Windows doesn’t get patched till years, Linux is on stable bleeding edge software!” i understand that, but were linux users not windows users 
& the update should’ve came sooner. So the question must be asked, will this help / hurt Canonical or even all ubuntu based distros in general?

it will drastically affect future releases of Ubuntu based distros… cause of the release dates.
However, it has the potential to hurt, because that leaves a sooner demand for actual changes instead of rearranging. Like the only big changes with ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 is that synaptic and 2.28gnome got taken out. MISTAKES. Software center is horribly laggy compared to synaptic, and unity just uses too many effects/resources for me to consider it a light desktop (personal experience with it being retarded as of last release.

I failed to question the fact that it took 6 months to take out those two crucial components… replaced for “better” or not, they were more than adequate and, to me, a great representation of the often reinvented wheel.
