Because it doesn't exist.  Canonical has an Ubuntu Community Team, all 
of whom I know well, count as friends, and work very hard.

But this list isn't an actual team itself.  It's a mailing list for 
Ubuntu advocates and enthusiasts--on other teams or as individuals--to 
come together in a way that the loco-contacts mailing list didn't really 
allow.  It fills a real gap and is useful, but is simply a discussion forum.

So now this new Launchpad team: conflicts with an existing team name, 
causes confusion, serves no useful purpose, diverts attention from 
actual activity, and dilutes practical effort by causing administrative 
upkeep.

I don't think bringing up the idea of a Launchpad team or discussing the 
potential uses is a problem, but to unilaterally create a team with an 
invalid name is definitely a problem and Randall of all people should 
know better.
