The bug you referenced has long been fixed and is part of 2.080.0

Please do report a bug with instructions on how to reproduce if 
you are still experiencing problems.
How else can we be able to help you?

Also this has nothing to do with the release model, but with 
Ubuntu throwing out new releases that break a ton of things. So 
on the contrary if we wouldn't have such a frequent release 
process, the bug wouldn't have been fixed and released.
