Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy Heron" is out!
And nobody cares! Its going to be the same dodgey install process as all the other distros. It adds nothing new except a few updated packages. I really see nothing to get worked up about whenever a linux distro is released unless you like torturing yourself by checking versions numbers, downloading and compiling the source, looking for the executable, dealing with the segfaults and kernel panics. Its just not worth the hassle.
