Canonical does far more QA than people give credit to, and alot more than most distros. They may not have been heavy hitters in the upstream contribution area, but times are a changing. The fact is that were talking about FOSS here, not some commercial product, and up until very recently, Canonical was doing all it did at no charge, free. They are a company, just like Red Hat, Novell, and Mandriva, who all do make money off the FOSS they work on. There is no "Professional" version of Ubuntu that one must pay Canonical $$$ to be able to download and use, nor do they segregate their repo's into "Subscription content" area's. Personally, I think what Canonical has/is done is commendable by any standard.
