hdante: Your snide remarks made me chuckle for quite a while. I'm all
for a program that does that!

Seriously, though, at 31 dupes, more subscribers than I can count, and a
100 percent (I believe) consensus from the community that this behavior
is stupid, I'm a little sad to notice that there's nothing being done.
Or rather, nothing ALLOWED to be done. It seems to be beyond the point
of "the average user as opposed to the power user". The sheer,
overwhelming number of people, power user or no, that agree that this
*needs* to be changed for the better should be a fair indicator.

I'm not terribly miffed if a faulty program is shipped by default in
Ubuntu (Hardy's PulseAudio - what a mess), but I am extremely sad that
my favorite cause has to become so distinguished in its tact (or lack
therof). I'm just trying to illustrate the reality that this is truly
offensive to some people. This and the whole Ubuntu One naming fiasco is
something that I think needs much revision. I really adore Canonical,
and I think you and Shuttleworth all have done wonders for the
community, but you must remember that this relationship is symbiotic!
Without each other, there's no Ubuntu, just another distro!
