Diversifying Ubuntu is all great - more hype and more bling.
Not so good is that the number of bugs delivered with an edition of ubuntu increases for every release. Heron is infested. If nothing is done with this sloppiness (a matter of priority I presume), Ubuntu will become a liability to the Linux community. One of the great sellingpoint for Linux is that it just works. That is NOT the case with Ubuntu and I am concerned that this may rub off on other distros as well. After all - many of the big ones are somewhat forced into Ubuntu's development cycle. Wishful thinking perhaps, but the Ubuntu quality really needs attention.
For the sake of good order:
I'm a Heron user - without any Msoft products on any device.
