1. Too many. see #ubuntu support channel, around upgrade time.
2. The dependancies. Versions of things that have never been in ubuntu, and the automatix stuff that shows up in the crash logs.
3. Yes, i think we all trust upstream xorg patches less now - we've now got a stable release updates process to stop this. On the subject of nvidia breakage, nvidia always needs a rebuild with an api bump of the kernel, caused by a security update, etc. So does l-r-m. We cant rebuild nvidia modules for you.
4. The developers are working on the development release, not in the beginners forum, so the question is moot.
Cant really be bothered fighting - we've got more important things to do - like bugfix, and test cds. At least that will come to something productive.
