Is that going to make it hard for the maintainers to keep up with everything? It seems like you will have a lot of different varieties of mixed systems out there. Does that open up potential for unstable systems, or worse yet security concerns?
I'm coming from the perspective of a Debian Stable based distro. So I'm used to only seeing one release every 2-3 years. So its hard for me to comprehend how you can maintain and support so many different releases. I realize they are all based on the same Ubuntu LTS core, but even with Debian Stable you can have issues when you start installing backports. Is Maui really able to test each release sufficiently to provide a reliable release so often?
Please don't take me wrong. I really like what you (and KDE Neon) are doing. I just fear that it sounds too good to be true.
