I agree, for most users.  But then again MOST users should not be
running Jaunty.  They should be running either Hardy or at most
Intrepid.  WHAT, you say, but Jaunty is the latest and best and
released!  So what?  We users ARE the testers, and until a number of
months of defect fixing follow release, the average user should be
staying far from the leading edge.  At present, with a 6 months release
cycle, users should probably be considering moving to a release around
the time its successor is released.  Or staying with an LTS, and
upgrading when the successor's .1 comes out.

Personally, I try to use the latest code as much as possible, since we
ARE the testers, but I also have 4 different releases installed at all
times.  So I have options when something is broken.

If you are going to attempt to stay on the edge, you are just plain
foolish if you are not using a multi-boot environment.
