Could definitely be true - I installed ubuntu 8.10 today though and it
yielded 215 package updates (to be fair a lot from the same source
package, something like 75 actual changes, more than half were
recommended), so I'm not sure how much negativity this concern might
generate.  How did this compare to 11.0?

I don't disagree that 10.3 was pretty tight though and not ideal.
