So that I understand, do you think the answer to this impacts whether the TB
should grant its approval here?

For comparison, I believe that Canonical's "commercial" software repository
is enabled by default in Software Center on the Ubuntu desktop (via
server-side indices in the app store, rather than via an apt repository).
The partner repository has never been enabled by default either in apt or in
software-center, which frankly I think is a bug given that I routinely get
private pings from people asking why they can't find skype packages despite
them being in partner.

We also have community flavors (Mythbuntu) that not only enable, but
actually build from, multiverse.

So I think there is ample precedent for this software source being enabled
by default on Ubuntu Kylin, if that's what the Kylin team believes is the
right thing to do.
