It would be great to actually get bug fix updates to packages rather than only the security. I know that technically they are supposed to be shipping them, but they rarely do.
Also, they would have to double-down on QA which is unlikely.
We've been doubling down on QA since the last LTS, there's some info on that here: http://qa.ubuntu.com/
Good to hear.
I quite like the sound of this, but I only really install LTS, and then only on servers, so as long as LTS stick around I'm not too bothered what they do between each release ;-)
Also, BSD releases work that way don't they?
I hope that they keep the Long Term Support versions, for which they used to provide updates for up to 5 years.
In the video, they revealed that the plan is to move from LTS to LTS, with each LTS rolling until the next. I think it sounds cool.
Kind of like debian stable and debian testing relationship.
I think that's a good idea. Most of the interim releases are usually filled with bugs and more unstable anyway.
