Seriously though, M. Lion IS better than Lion, but the best still is S. Leopard.

Yeah! One last update for my Core Duo 2 64-bit Mac Mini which can't run Mountain Lion!

You can have plenty of updates if you put Windows or a Linux distribution on that nice little machine of yours. You don't have to support Apple's business model of planned obsolescence.

I thought there were different teams for iOS and OS X... 10.8.1 might be a distraction, but I don't see why iOS would be

No, Apple is understaffed, apparently by choice, and they shift engineers around constantly. With $100B in reserves, you'd think they could hire more engineers and actually test things better, but I guess they fear getting bloated.

Ever since Leopard was delayed there have been rumours that the OS X team sometimes help the iOS group.

It isn't just rumors. I recall Steve Jobs mentioning that they do shift people back and forth between the two teams as needed. I'd imagine they've shifted quite a few of those people to OS X as of late.
