Is it really sad? I think its fabulous. Why? Because we are finally
at a point that GNU/Linux adoption is high enough and distribution
feature sets are complete enough that a new distribution release is
NOT interesting news.

Additionally, the distribution wars of old are largely over. There
are much better things that are taking the attention of GNU/Linux
people. We should rejoice that a new release of one of a dozen
popular distributions is NOT newsworthy. :)

The only thing that could be considered sad is that what equates to a
Service Pack (OS X Leopard) is marketed as the second coming, while
the GNU/Linux machine can barely get people to understand how great
the freedoms it affords are.
