At least not for that reason.  But unless some major issues get fixed,
this LTS will be (at least on the desktop) a support nightmare.  The
server is _wonderful_, though.

I just hope that they can get everything worked out.  The biggest
breakage that I have found thus far is Flash refusing to be stable.
This is not a huge issue for _me_, but I can imagine that if this
problem isn't fixed, there will be many people for whom Flash content is
king that will do the distro-hop.
