Just some thoughts:
At least in my opinion, the OS should be something stable that you use for a long period of time. At least people coming from Windows or MacOS/iOS/etc. are not expecting to change the OS every 3-5 months because of some nagging bug (in this case, the bluetooth connection) . An OS is not just a program, you have to re-make all configurations and install everything that one needs for the computer to be a useful and pleasant tool.
And some programs are not always updated to the latest version with all dependencies, so some of us have trouble installing them (for instance, I could not install GIMP 2.7.5 on Oneiric; yes, I'm a noob, but I am willing to learn and I have learned a lot in the last year since I switched to Ubuntu (from Windows)).

I am sure I am not the only one thinking this, so maybe at some point in
the future, the launching philosophy gets closer to major groups of
users' needs. There are some bugs dragged for many versions (for
instance Gnome desktop icons overlapping) that once fixed will bring
lots of smiles and happiness for most of the users, more than some fancy
transparency. Together, letting Gnome developers that we care about it
might work. Interaction really matters.

//Fahd, if possible could you test with 12.04 beta 2? This bug has already been fixed there and my testing is positive.

Bug description:
  Gnome 3 bluetooth manager cannot send files to my HTC Desire phone,
  (or any phone that I could try) Gnome2 bluetooth manager would send
  some form of authorisation request when first sending a file to my
  phone, which i would accept on the phone and then all future files
  could be sent with a simple 'accept?' message on the phone, on any
  gnome3 setup i have tried there is not authorisation request and i
  believe this is what leads to a permission denied error on screen
  (video attached)
