Something else that we need to remember... If we have a system with Warty on, and it's nagging its owner to upgrade, the only system it can upgrade to is Breezy, which itself might be out of support. If such a case arises, there's no way to get that Warty machine upgraded. -- Alex Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
