It demonstrates that we are aware that some users are interested in this
kind of offering, and are considering it.  Rob Sharp isn't Big Business;
he's an individual who is evaluating Ubuntu based on such things, and as

product which might better suit his needs.

Indeed, it would behoove him to review what we have written and send
feedback about it.
