fine, nothing wrong with that... Do we need more Ubuntus though?
I don't know what it means to "be another Ubuntu". We're a different
project
with a different structure and a different lineage.
Would I like the stuff we produce to be as popular as Ubuntu in terms of
user base? No -- I would like it to be more popular. And I think it's very
possible.
I know change is hard. I used to be a grumpy sysadmin myself and I can
relate to a lot of what you're saying. But I don't think the "alienating
current users vs. attracting new users" dichotomy is a useful one. Many
current users will also benefit from and appreciate the proposed changes.
However, one size definitely does not fit all, and our strategy is designed
*precisely* to address that.
