He
apparently didn't say which distribution he's using, and stability
could depend on it. In my personal case I didn't remember of great
stability in anything Ubuntu-based, including Kubuntu; but it was
mostly issues of dpkg/etc. breaking into a big mess in a much faster
and easily-triggered way than Debian stable.
I think one day I should do an audit of Trinity 3.5.13 vs. KDE 3.5.10
and revert some Ubuntu patches… (I already have in mind the broken
kdesu issue you previously reported)
I always read Bruce's writings with a proverbial grain of salt. He
tends toward sensationalism and likes to play a game of creating
rifts like he did in this article. His journalism tends toward what
used to be called muckraking. When he writes in that mode I remind
myself that everything is his opinion only and subjective. Everybody
has an opinion and a poop chute. Both often stink. :)
Nothing he wrote requires or demands a public response. He has his
opinion and we should let that be.
So much for that.
I am concerned about his reports of instability. We should receive
such comments seriously. I hope he filed bug reports or contacted
somebody on the development team. Even if he didn't this kind of
publicity dictates that quality assurance must be a priority over
release schedules. That means a lot of usability testing and not just
pumping out code and packages.
I hope everybody here receives his article in a constructive
manner. :)
