"Any distro could have done it"

You know, some distros do prefer quality releases to crap on exact day.  And I'd argue that
this *is* part of caring for user experience as well.

Promoting wild push (ever been at a daily gazette?) isn't gonna win much friends among
upstreams and peers, as was noted already... if you'd look at quite some Ubuntu patches or
glue code, you'd barely touch the result with a six feet pole.  But you don't care, luckily.
:)

So...

> Be happy with your distro of choice.
