   This is why we have different Linux distros that follow different   
   upgrade strategies, with everything from major upgrades at less   
   regular intervals, up to rolling releases and complete bleeding-edge   
   must-have-the-latest-of-everything distros. This way, you can choose   
   the cadence that best makes you happy.   
      
   Linux is all about choice.
