First impression on 14.10

[Daniel van Vugt]

Absolutely, if you want stability then stick to 14.04.

However Mir being under development can't afford to have maintenance 
branches actually being maintained in every Ubuntu release (yet). So Mir 
is primarily developed on the bleeding edge.

Note this does mean even if we did fix all of the problems you're 
experiencing, any fixes for Mir will probably never be backported to 14.04.
