For 8.04, a deliberate effort was made by Canonical to continue
stabilization in response to real-world testing after the 8.04 release.  In
practice, many issues which affect users are only discovered when end users
begin to upgrade and use the new release on a daily basis, and for this
release, we prepared a comprehensive response to this feedback.

If you were unaware that this was going on, perhaps we could do a better job
of communicating this type of effort with the public.
