rise in popularity. Right now we are that leading GNOME distro because
we usually follow about 1-2 months behind a GNOME release. It's a huge
advantage over, say, Ubuntu, where people complain about needing PPAs
to get the latest software and upstream has already moved on to newer
versions half a year ago. Right now this is one of our biggest
strengths as a distro, and your proposal would throw that away. So
there is real serious risk of changing this.
That's exactly why I'm suggesting the point release or batched update —
that would include a GNOME bump.
