While new features are not necessary, I am very worried about the many security vulnerabilities and stability fixes that the mini is not getting. Is there a particular reason why these fixes are not ported back to the mini-Ubuntu (besides the customization for the small screen)? Is the development for the mini-Ubuntu currently undergoing? Would it be better to go for the official 8.04 or even 8.10, which instead offer an active support?
