So, how do you propose that each of the above indicators of stability be developed, tested and deployed in a distribution with a reasonably fast release cycle ?
That is the whole point. We don't need frequent _upgrades_. Ubuntu should stick to frequent _updates_ . Otherwise Ubuntu will only end up as a toy. If a distro does not even last 6 months before it is replaced, it is not for serious users. Debian is good no doubt but something in between Debian and Ubuntu is needed.
