I don't know. Did you read Jesse Smith's review of Ubuntu 12.10 on DistroWatch Weekly? He thought it was a lot like an early beta. At least one person who commented thinks it's alpha-quality. Ubuntu is dropping Alpha test releases, not alpha-quality releases. There is a difference.

Ubuntu release has bugs ... yeah, that's a new one.

@caitlyn: I know. But there's also a little irony marker at the end of my initial post. Without any irony: I'm simply appalled at the lack of QA and the frantic rhythm at which Canonical churns out next-to-unusable releases. Sigmund Freud once stated in his correspondence: "I don't have problems with my enemies. It's my friends that are causing me troubles." I guess Ubuntu gives the Linux biosphere a lot of bad press. The first versions sporting Unity were worse than Windows Millennium or Windows Vista, as far as I could tell. As buggy, and as resource-hungry.

It's a sad story, but one can always choose to laugh about it:
