I don't think that anyone is arguing that canonical, and ubuntu,
do not provide a useful product, nor that the product they provide is
popular.
The point is whether they are good citizens in the free software
community, and part of _that_ ethos is feeding user feedback (positive
or negative), and code changes, back upstream.
I can't say I am impressed by canonical's efforts in that arena.
