Voodoosws points out on Mark Shuttleworth's blog Shuttleworth's call for synchronized divulgation of Linux distributions, excerpting: "There's one thing that could convince me to change the date of the next Ubuntu LTS: the run to collaborate with the other, large distributions on a coordinated major / minor release cycle. If two out of three of Red Hat (RHEL), Novell (SLES) and Debian are willing to agree in advance on a date to the nearest month, and thereby on a unity of kernel, compiler toolchain, GNOME/KDE, X and OpenOffice versions, and agree to a six-month and 2-3 year long term cycle, then I would happily realign Ubuntu's short and long-term cycles around that. I think the reward of this sort of alignment to users, upstreams and the distributions themselves would be enormous. I'll write more about this idea in due course, for now let's just call it my dream of true free macos syncronicity."
