The writer said explicitly, "The Ubuntu <http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTU1Mjk#> GNOME distribution that packages up the latest GNOME Shell 3 desktop environment atop Ubuntu Linux <http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTU1Mjk#> is already conceding they are low on resources and might be incapable of doing a 14.04 LTS release come next spring". Is that true? While not your intention you did sound a death knell for the project and now you need to try and "unring" that bell.
