Status of Dapper?

Sorry but this is a no-brainer.
The person is a CUSTOMER. Ok, Dapper looks and feels nicer, and it's
marginally faster which you might just notice on older hardware, but YOU
are the one having to support it if it breaks. For Breezy, support on
just about anything that could possibly go wrong is so much easier to
locate.
Being on the bleeding edge is nice for your own hobby PC in your
bedroom, but not in a professional environment you have to support.
As an example, I just did some stuff with the partitioning tool in
Dapper: it's weird. Same for the Live CD installer, which by the way has
been given the name 'Espresso', thus adding confusion for completely no
reason. (No coffee, thanks, 'Install Ubuntu' please.)
Anyway, it worked in the end, but not something I'd like to do at a
customer's site, then leave.
Install the stylish Dapper theme and chances are the customer won't
notice the difference anyway.
Cheers,
Chanchao
