My perspective is that we don't have to give up on our philosophy to reach out to newbies - we could keep our beliefs firm and reach out to the newbies - may be that path takes longer time (after all we already spent more that 20 years). I absolutely respect your opinion if you think otherwise - I just wanted to warn and think about it and be careful that we have not reached our goal yet - a completely Free Operating System - and if we lose it now - it might be tougher to get back.

The case is kind of similar, if your doomsday theory regarding Canonical is true then Ubuntu will be chucked out by many - law of nature.
I did it already, and I just wanted to tell why I did it.
agreed.
