There are two ways this has played out over the last 13 years. a) Canonical develops an open source solution to a real problem but RH and others choose not to contribute or adopt (e.g. bzr, Launchpad, upstart, Mir, Unity, LXD, Juju, Snaps, et al.). Or b) Canonical adopts open source tech from RH or others and works hard to deliver it nicely for Ubuntu users (e.g. KVM, Compiz, systemd, Ceph, etc.). Either way, inevitably Canonical is perceived as evil by an unweilding segment of the tech community, for either not adopting RH's solution or not contributing enough to RH's solution. How much should Canonical care about the unreasonable opinions of a handful of noisy Fedora fans?
