That's a current meme now too, propagated by journalstic shills, as to
Android. "Oh no, look how many Android devices are still using
Gingerbread! Think of the children, being left behind all the progress.
Woe is them until they get Ice Cream Sandwich."
Um, I use Gingerbread and it's fine. Windows XP's interface was fine,
and so was Gnome 2 in Ubuntu. There was no need to change. And as
far as I am concerned, there hasn't been a single improvement.
You want to change OSs behind the scenes to upgrade security? Sure,
have at it. But leave the basic OS alone. Stick a fork, it's done.
I would happily keep using Ubuntu 10.4, Ubuntu's best version, for all
the remaining decades of my life. If Canonical would keep providing
security patches, then I would.
At least Microsoft has an excuse, change the chairs on the Titanic,
make it look like you're doing something, and sell sell sell. But no cost
Ubuntu has no excuse. Same with Firefox, and so much other software.
When are they going to come out with a 50 year LTS version? That's
the version I want. I've got work to do.
