Hi Lance,

We won't shoot you at all, you are doing a great job :D beside we need you
:P

Okay, here we go again. Back to the work :D I thought we could have a week
off or something? but that is not possible, I guess? :D

According to my humble understanding:
http://amjjawad.blogspot.com/2013/03/to-be-or-not-to-be.html

Those with Lubuntu 12.04 should not worry much, IMHO. They will have all
the security updates they need because their core system is an LTS :)

I have an idea.
If we really really really can not drop 13.10 for whatever reason, then we
can go ahead and do that with these changes:

1- Critical Bug Fixes
2- Different Artwork
3- Please replace Chromium with Firefox, please!!!

IMHO, that is all for now.

I did not run a survey/poll yet to ask about Lubuntu 13.04 performance. I'm
waiting for one week until at least some issues come up.

I have a feeling that 13.04 has improved a lot but that is me.

IF we must release 13.10, then let's do the minimum efforts possible and
focus on 14.04 from now.
This is my humble opinion :)

Thank you!
