Using this thinking, then all of the lesser GNU/Linix distros should abandon
ship and only support the largest 3, 4 or 5 distos?
gNewSense is not deprecated, 4.0 is based on Debian 7, and has backports
etc... When 4.0 is up, then work will start immediately on 5.0 based on Deb.

There are alot of people that do not like Canonical etc... and would prefer a
more stable and free base system. The concern with Ubuntu derivatives is
they are all dependent on whatever direction Canonical and Shuttleworth go.
So if you do not like Canonical, then their are alternatives. The strength
in GNU/Linix is its diversity, the more projects the stronger the community
becomes. Otherwise we delve into the realms of Microsoft and Apple and only
repeat their mistakes!
