[ale] Ubuntu and the price of Unity

Let me sum that article up simply: the GNOME project doesn't like
Canonical's Unity project because it might be more popular than their
in-development "Shell" project.

Well, who cares? Ubuntu isn't GNOME just like it isn't Debian. They
can do whatever the hell they please as long as it doesn't upset their
users. If the GNOME developers don't like it, they can use a different
distribution.

pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
