Hello Phill Noted ... just the case that upgrading every 6 months does break a few things and thats ok for an individual (though still its tough) ... but in case of a deployment of more than 6 computers ... thats quite a big work ...
I appreciated the improvements been done ... currently using 12.10 up from 11.04,11.10, 12.04 step by step ... but I think Lubuntu primarily targets desktops ... more so hardware with lower resources than Ununtu Desktop requirements ... so I personally feel that desktops should have stable base for at least 24 months before a full upgrade ... and the applications running can be updated as and when the updates are available to have the latest versions running ... So, to sum up what I was actually suggesting is that Lubuntu could only have 12.04, 14.04, 16.04 etc ... with app upgrades pushed as and when available and deemed stable ... of course security updates available immediately ... I am not aware of the rules for Ubuntu ... but I think that derivative wise there should be certain liberties considering the target audience ... while the overall Ubuntu encapsulating with loose coupling ...
