The title of this article doesn't conform with the facts. According to Jono Bacon[1]: "There is going to be some questions about this decision in relation to GNOME. I want to make something crystal clear: Ubuntu is a GNOME distribution, we ship the GNOME stack, we will continue to ship GNOME apps, and we optimize Ubuntu for GNOME. The only difference is that Unity is a different shell for GNOME, but we continue to support the latest GNOME Shell development work in the Ubuntu archives."

Let's be straight: Jono Bacon, while a nice guy, is employed by Canonical. That does give him the insider credibility, but he's also obviously "we're the nice guys" biased. He's the "Ubuntu Community Manager" (last I checked that was the title?) after all and his job is to promote the use of Ubuntu and to keep the community alive and favorable. Let's bring Dave Neary[1] to the table for readers that might want to understand why the title of the article _might_ (you judge - but probably only time will tell) be perfectly valid. I'd suggest reading both links to understand the corporate message and statement of intention on the one side and a (note: Not _the_, obviously there's not a single Gnome hive mind) representative opinion for the disappointment about these latest decisions on the other side. 1: http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2010/10/25/ubuntu-to-move-to-unity-as-default-desktop-for-11-04/ http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2010/10/25/ubuntu-to-move-to-un...
