Hopefully I never wrote this...

Furthermore, my message shouldn't be read "Canonical will or does sell
commercial software"...(I don't know, I won't know and I really doesn't
want to know, 'cause I don't care).

Fact is, that those "Naming" issues, especially those who

are discussed behind close curtains, will give a "bad light" to a
project which needs to stay out of the "red light district".

The fact that many people are working on that project, but only one
main sponsor has something to say about some parts of it, could give
some serious problems (as those boring things I mentioned). Essentially
when the name of the project is involved (Means: Ubuntu).

IMHO (REALLY IMHO!) it would be a good idea to have an announcement or
a "full disclosure" from Mark^WCanonical about the Future. 

Really, I don't care where we are going to, the only thing I do care
about is
	
a) stability
b) reliability
c) productivity

We're are "far from it", but we are going the right way...and we all
need to "pay" for it. In one way or the other, but I think it would be
good to have an overview about things "we" want to do, and where "we"
want to go. The problem is that many people don't see the goal or the
plan. ("we" means here: The Ubuntu Project, The Ubuntu Community and
the Full Time Sponsor Canonical Ltd. just shuffle the order)

PS: The only goal I have is to be a good father to my child(ren?),
"nothing else matters" (MeTaLlIcA).

PPS: @Martin, the mail I send wasn't meant personal...it's just that the
"ramblings" are really boring, because actually we can't do anything to
solve it right now.
