That's the point why there are releases, and it doesn't necessarily need to be a new application, new major versions of an already present app may introduce regressions or new problems; however, they also add new features, which is why they are introduced. If you don't want the new features, stick to an LTS, if you do, update every six months (and maybe experience some regression or new problem). > And no, Ubuntu with it's applications is nowhere near the stability > of [...] Windows XP. You are kidding, right? Back to the general topic, personally I'm in favor of a rolling release (and I'm currently using Debian Sid on my main laptop), and I could well see it being feasible having several repositories (normal, testing, experimental) plus branching out LTS releases for business users, but that'd be a rather big change in how Ubuntu currently works, and it's basically up to Canonical to take this decision.
