Any plans for updates using this version vs the 2.2(rc3) version? Or are
they the same?

As an added point - why are the Dapper and Edgy versions
so far behind 2.2?

This is never asked/answered too many times, is it? Dapper is LTS, so it must
be stable in the sense of a non-changing environment. This means packages
will retain their version whenever possible, and only security packages
backported. So for the next two years, all Dapper installations will remain
with the same version of every package (except on the exceptions, of course).

Edgy wil be superceded in under a month, so why would anyone bother to
backport anything to it now? People who uses Edgy are happy to see new things
coming now and then, and the cycle is normally 6 months. Is it too much to
wait, to get a new mostly-stable, somewhat tested version of the system?

FF
