Bugs in Dapper, should stick with Breezy ?

I'll be getting a new laptop soon (Dell Latitude 120L) and I'm
planning on installing Ubuntu on it.

I was originally targeting for Dapper which should be available in a
few days, but I just made a bug search on Malone comparing the list of
"confimed" + "in progress" bugs for both releases - found 6 in Breezy
and 65 in Dapper.

Since I intend to give this system a moderately complex kind of use
(might be too complex for a noob like me . . .  :)   ), with large
RAM, some VMs and internal networking, I'm now considering Breezy
instead. I should add a dual-boot with Dapper later on (July maybe),
when the great bughunt should already have caught the larger game.

My understanding is, while there is a team frenetically squashing
Dapper bugs right now, as soon as Dapper becomes final it will be put
to use by uncountable hordes, so that the bug count might shrink on
one end while stretching on the other end.

Is my reasoning reasonable ? I'd appreciate any comments on my plans,
thnx everybody.

Thiers
