This made an interesting read. Linked blogs too. May explain some of the new features in Ubuntu 11.04. Unity. <a href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/03/12/2329233/The-Full-Story-Behind-the-Canonical-vs-GNOME-Drama">http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/03/12/2329233/The-Full-Story-Behind-the-Canonical-vs-GNOME-Drama</a><br>

Hmmm... On further reflection/consideration of your remarks, David, I<br>
concede your points. Mine were/are based only upon the frustration of<br>
seeing things-that-used-to-work break on new releases (this *never*<br>
happened with VMS!) ;-)<br>
<br>
And perhaps I don't (yet) understand the implicit linkage between<br>
Canonical's X.xx releases and the package distro/repositories -- Can't<br>
applications be upgraded without being so closely tied to the Ubuntu<br>
release?<br>
