The Escuelas Linux developer says that he managed to keep the distribution up-to-date with the latest software packages without switching to the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) repos by using third-party PPA repositories. He also stated that the Escuelas Linux was not upgraded to Bodhi Linux 3.0 because the upstream OS still has some unresolved issues. Lastly, he justifies sticking with the Enlightenment E17, because it has more features than Enlightenment E19.
