Apparently they also did not understand the merge cycle. Claiming that
Ubuntu uses everything from experimental and rebuilding it from
scratch every 6 months doesn't seem like he ever actually took a look
at the development cycle.

It also find it quite funny that he switches to Etch because he didn't
see any major upgrades to Dapper. After all, stable Debian releases
are even 'more stable' than stable Ubuntu releases...
