I think Ubuntu and Linux in general would benefit from a standard SDK for packaging and selling apps. Yes, selling apps. There are plenty of package managers and so on if I want to do FOSS, but if I want to make money selling software for an operating system that I love, make it easy for me to do that. Otherwise, I'd rather dev for Mac or Windows or Android or iOS.
Ubuntu making their own SDK would solve the "which set of tools should I use" problem that I think makes commercial Linux dev less awesome. Ubuntu's already gone down this road a little bit with their Quickly app framework, but I think they could take it a bit farther.
Mac, Windows, Android, iOS all benefit greatly from a standard app SDK. Add Ubuntu to that list and I'll be a happy camper.
