Jeff,

*Thank* *You*!  You have no idea how nice it is to hear from someone
close to the heart of Ubuntu come out and clarify this point to the
dissenting crowd.

May I take this opportinity to thank Ubuntu (well, the people behind
it) for the excellent effort that has given us one of the best Linux
distributions ever. I am looking forward to Dapper already. :)
May I also wish you a Merry Christmas.

Regards,
