It is just the wrong answer in a discussion where we look to improve Debian.
I think it is valid to point to other systems for learning their weakness or
strength, but it is not valid to consider them a as a geeral solution to a
Debian problem.
Said that, I do stil think that the Ubuntu is better suited for the Deskop
exactly because the Software is fresher. And I do think a faster release
schedule would also benefit Debian. We would concentrate much more on the
overall progress. And the diversion to upstream is much less.
Independently from that, I do think Mozillas Bugfix releases should go 1:1
into the Distribution. There is no major incompatibility and it is just
wrong to expect the end user to understand about our backporting, especially
with components which are so prominent.
