There is no doubt 9.10 has been more buggier than normal largely due to the amount of new technologies going into it, I was quite aware of this as it seems like they were throwing a lot of the stuff into 9.10 so they can build on it, and feature complete it by 10.04, the bug issues have been mentioned to the *SABDFL* and as has been said 10.04 is aiming to be one of the least buggy releases in recent memory.
I prefer the 6 month release system, 8.04 in comparison to 9.10 seems like going from win7 to 98 in windows land.
