The hype cycle might be relevant.
I did. What I wanted to counter in your post was mainly that you put security as the #1 reason, which I thought might mislead people into thinking that non-LTS releases didn't get security support,...
Every Ubuntu release gets security updates for supported software along its support period, thus barring some unlikely exceptions, security is hardly a compelling reason to upgrade to a whole new...
A line of spacing between each item would make it much more readable than it is now, and would go a long way towards encouraging more people to read more of it.
It used to be that you had to carefully pick hardware to work with Linux at all; these days you have to carefully pick it to have major problems.
Definitely no, but in terms of encouraging and facilitating the kind of communication required by busy people who need technical support, Stack Exchange runs circles around the antiquated bulletin...

Then use it, with kernel backports, which will provide support for lots of new hardware.
It depends entirely on the terms of support the manufacturer has set when selling you the computer. If you buy a computer with XP preinstalled, and the manufacturer does not support an upgrade to...
If you've bought the netbook with Ubuntu preinstalled, there should be no distinction between a "HP issue" or "Ubuntu issue". The integration is the very point of buying a computer with an OS...
Again, what is the problem?
Then certification aside, you must either have a vendor that you can complain rightly to and get a response, or a vendor that did a bad job integrating Ubuntu and...

OK, so here's your absolute conclusion:
Will every bug be fixed in Ubuntu before release? -> No.
Will every bug be fixed after release? -> No.
Will every bug fix be delivered immediately,...
If you're talking about Universe packages, which such a package most likely is, then the possibility of introducing significant distribution-wide damage by fixing a bug in it is usually pretty low...
