Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu is once again contemplating whether to go with interim releases or go with rolling releases. The company has entertained this idea at least once before ultimately settling with the old release schedule. Now, there are talks again of doing away the old schedule or going with a rolling release.

Why can’t Ubuntu do both releases. Canonical should do LTS (Long Term Support) for companies and individuals who clearly have a need for long term support, while most individuals like myself would rather have a rolling release to keep with latest developments, as well as avoid big haul upgrades every six months. That would be the ideal situation.
