I have not been reading all that much on the devel list recently, but I
just thought of something about this now.
Has there been any thought into the usability of dapper 2, 3, or 4 years
from now? Since it will be a supported system for 5, hardware in the
next few years be incompatible with the current kernel. Or new hardware
may only have support with some nifty new features in Linux3.0. So is
the hardware of the future going to be supported, or is the support of
dapper limited to hardware currently available at the release?
