I would not be comfortable pushing Ubuntu into production since their quality
control seems lacking to me. Running newer software does not matter much in
most scenarios. Wanting the lattest version is most often than not a
psychological thing.

That said, I get why people may get Ubuntu for production. Ubuntu has a company
behind from which you may buy support, and if you are sysadmining for a firm
you can tell your boss that if anything goes wrong, you can hold a third party
responsible up to a point. The alternative to Ubuntu, when you want something
like that is Red Hat, which is a bit tricky to work with... if you need to
deploy many Red Hat virtual machines or something you need to license them all,
and they are cracking down on clones (so you can t have a couple of real Red
Hats and then a number of clones in your firm).

I am also not the greatest fan of alternate package formats myself.
