Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will be very bad version for people who want security and
privacy
because 16.04 LTS will use "systemd" as default.
This "systemd" software suite controls very important processes, and a lot
of profesionals ans Linux users are very
against this decision because "systemd" is not stable and is not good
designed (from a security, privacy point a view)
So I think 14.04 is still a safer choice (for a base of Trisquel) then 16.04
because 14.04 doesn't use "systemd"
I hope Trisquel will think very carefully about this, because "systemd" is a
NO GO for many GNU/Linux users
p.s: this "news" that "spaveware" will be dissable is just a way from Ubuntu
to turn the negative attention of the systemd spyware as default, to
something for positive....
