>Frankly, I think we see Canonical, Ltd. doing a lot of things in desperation in the last 12 months. That's not a good sign for them, and the developers I've seen leaving in exodus gives me the impression that it's no longer a good place to work for developers. I suspect we just don't need to worry about what Canonical, Ltd. is doing anymore. I've generally just been ignoring them.

It's annoying in that Ubuntu on the server has been just lovely (like Debian with PPAs) and Xubuntu is noticeably more beautiful than Debian XFCE. Sigh.
