What makes you so god-like that you _know_ this was a typo? He could actually have meant what he said...
Well, the easy answer to your question is that the author responded to this thread after I did and stated that it was a typo. However, that ex post facto answer probably won't satisfy you.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)
The harder answer is that I have reading comprehension and logical reasoning skills. Anyone even remotely familiar with Linux distributions is aware that there is a constant tension between those who want stability (don't want the distribution to change fast) and those who want features (want the distribution to improve fast). Therefore, when I read that statement and noted the ridiculous tautology, my gut instinct told me that there was about a 99.99% chance that this was a typo.
Perhaps your reading comprehension and logic skills are not as well developed as mine. Perhaps you just haven't been involved with Linux long enough to know about the stability-feature tension. Or perhaps you are so paranoid that you will (sub?)consciously ignore an obvious typo in order to reinforce a predetermined conclusion about a corporation.
