What are these deep and systemic problems everyone keeps talking about? I've seen them mentioned in this thread a couple of times now, yet no one actually mentions what those problems are. I'm curious.

If what Ted is saying is true about them not paying anyone (who's good) enough to retain them nor hiring a few serious kernel hackers, then that pretty much makes the case, wouldn't you say? I.e. given that they take a snapshot of Debian unstable and then furiously try to make it work in 6 months. Another bad and telling sign is that ship dates are more important than quality, and that will also lose them good people. I would not want Canonical on my resume for very long after 6 months before the release of Hardy Heron and I have found such work places to be utterly depressing and demotivating.
