Based on Ubuntu life cycle http://www.ubuntu.com/products/ubuntu/release-cycle

Long Term Support releases for desktop and server. There are deployment platforms with wide hardware and software support and ideal or individuals and businesses making a longer term investment in Ubuntu

If a user want be on a more static release i suggest to install only Long Time Support Release.

#Think:
There is no such thing as 'odd'.
More users create more bug reports.
Ubuntu isn't a political regime, it's about freedom of choice, commitment and community around the world.
One has to break an egg to make an omelet.
#Action:
'As dedicated Ubuntu user...' Get involved e.g. (bug reports), contribute (answers) and test (unstable).

Arguments:

Very low, Ubuntu will include the latest updates from the upstream as
they are released, that's what keeps the users on the bleeding edge of
the software and hardware integration :)

Whenever I think of "Updates" with Ubuntu, I was think of hardware support more than anything. I have had a few problems with older hardware such as ISA Soundcards.

Is it possible 10.04 will help further diminish problems like that?
