I don't want to kick people out of Ubuntu either. I also don't want to
do laundry or stand in the naked in a pile of snow.  Nonetheless, I have
to do laundry from time to time. Sometimes you need to do stuff you
don't want to do.

Kicking people out of the project is a very drastic measure and should
not be taken lightly.

Deciding to not do something is still a decision, surely?

(I'm speaking on my own behalf, not that of the MC)

I don't feel it's inappropriate to ask people to stop working on Ubuntu.
Whether that's the correct course of action in a given case is a
separate discussion.
