Wouldn't it make more sense for Canonical to either...

(a) add several more release channels? E.g., latest-phase-1, latest-phase-2, ..., latest-phase-n, or

(b) add highly granular, timestamped releases? E.g., 2023-01-01.1, 2023-01-02.1, 2023-01-02.2 (if needed), etc., or

(c) publish explicit rollout-group channels, and let user pick their group if they want? E.g., stable-stage{1...k}-group{1...j}, and also offer an optional technique for admins to participate in a lottery for which group they draw from?

Then individual computer owners could decide policy for themselves.

I really don't understand how Canonical's views on the proper role of a Linux distro provider could have diverged so far from my own. I think they're the ones who have changed, but I'm not sure.
