Just because they pull *security* updates automatically doesn't make 
them fully synced with our releases.  Not every minor release becomes a 
security update in Ubuntu.

Also, I'd expect that a community-endorsed packaging also follows new 
major releases.  I don't know if we have that commitment here.

Perhaps there should be a second heading or category or page for 
appliances, pre-integrated environments and live CDs, and they are 
allowed to have a more relaxed release schedule.
