Which is understandable if we add back one line that was snipped:

Remember, Ubuntu is "Linux for human beings", not "the enterprise".... but
that would mean... oh wait...

On a serious note, this just demonstrates that Debian the organization is
still only interested in Debian as a Server OS, and continues to explain
and justify the existence of Ubuntu.  Debian is Debian for servers and
sysadmins, Ubuntu is Debian for everyone else, and as long as Debian the
organization remains hostile/indifferent to a Debian for end-users, Ubuntu
will live long and prosper(*)...


(*) I still wish the Ubuntu folk hadn't chosen to restrict Ubuntu to just
one desktop environment, which just limits Ubuntu's potential market in the
long run (but not in the short term).
