> It's the Ubuntu community who decides what Ubuntu should have, not Canonical. I think it's Canonical that decides. Ubuntu definitely belongs to Canonical. If you don't like it, don't use it. Opinionated decision making is a great tool: mob rule can't achieve the same coherence a single decision making body can. This "GNU/Linux = democracy" meme seems to be missing the point: the "democracy" lies in the various choices of distro. You don't necessarily need "democracy" at the distro level: if you don't like what a distro is doing, you're free to cast your "vote" by using another.
