Thanks for the focus, Ace.  My use of "you" in this context can be
very dangerous.  To be clear, the "you" I address in the paragraph
above is that entity which has chosen this unique direction for
Edubuntu rather than building on debian-edu.  If there were a "boss",
then that is who the "you" would be.  It seems that this has been
exasperating for those developers trying to fulfill the expectations
of the project, and frustrating at times for those in the community
trying to get it to the schools.

The idea of limiting the focus is a good one.  I am immensely
frustrated that first Redhat, then Novell, and now Canonical overlook
the long-term benefits from a decided focus on the K12 market.
