Ubuntu 14.10 - Much ado about nothing?

I really hate to pile on to all of the lukewarm reviews for Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn), but I'm going to anyway.  There has been a lot of buzz about this release, being that it is the 10th anniversary of the distributions initial release.  Unfortunately it's more of a maintenance release than anything.  While stability and security updates are a good thing, I guess we just all expected something flashy or innovative with this release.  As always, update servers are slammed, so I wouldn't worry too much if you aren't one of the first ones to upgrade.  You're not missing much.
