Why don't the Ubuntu repositories have the latest versions of software?
The way I understand the Ubuntu project from a corporate point of view is that companies can partner with Canonical and have their software placed in the Ubuntu's software center.
My question is why do some releases of programs take such a long time to load where others do not, i.e. Firefox is loaded almost immediately, whereas Skype 4.0 took weeks even months and then it was not even up to date.
Question: Whose responsibility is it to load new software and why isn't the Ubuntu Center one of the first point of calls for such uploads.
The failure to upload for instance Skype has the web go crazy with disclaimers such as its not yet available in Ubuntu. This makes the Ubuntu project seem somewhat out of date?
