A bug that only goes out in an update can be replaced by a fixed
update.
This would be a lot less of an issue if we were more actively promoting the
respins that are already being done.
I never install from GA images (except before the first respin, obviously)
because it is just pointless to install an image just to have to upgrade
half of the distro immediately afterwards.
