That was meant to be "*U* for Unity ;)", but the winky got lost when I
had to manually retrieve/resend the message. (Mailman isn't as smart as
Launchpad about figuring out messages sent from one of many different
aliases.)

The fact is, "Ubuntu" is the name of two distinct things: a project
encompassing many flavors, and one of those flavors. Recognizing which
one you're talking about at any given moment helps immensely.
