    The non-LTS versions are unstable by definition and that’s the goal; to be unstable. And no, I am not talking about buggy stability type, but more like “unchanging, reliable”. In example changing Wayland by default or back then from Unity to GNOME 3 would only happen in a non-LTS version, because that is a huge change and need to be “tested” before LTS commitment. That does not mean Canonical doesn’t care about quality, but that is not the biggest goal with the in between releases. Its like Beta, a current snapshot of the development.

    Canonical can state what they want, the history, actions and results are what is important. What do you think is the reason Canonical does the non LTS releases?
