Which reminds me of something I was thinking of earlier today...  A lot 
of Ubuntu users point to the longer support lifetime of Ubuntu's regular 
releases as one of the reasons they choose not to use Fedora.  I'm 
surprised that a company which isn't profitable is able to maintain as 
many releases as they do.  On the other hand, it looks like in April, 
Canonical was discussing a scale-back to supporting only LTS releases 
and the current release.  From the votes and my own speculation, I think 
it's likely that they will, eventually.  I wonder how that will change 
the user base...
