Yes, I have a Q.... by all means promote lubuntu as an XP replacement... but the release of such a replacement will be the 14.04 LTS. As desktop releases only have 9 months support, are you seriously going to argue that 13.10 is a replacement and in 9 months time all support will be dropped? If they go for a March launch, then the CD's will be unsupported by July 2014.....
I think that would be a VERY bad move. Phill.
