At Canonical alone:
 - Launchpad
 - Shipit
 - login.ubuntu.com
 - Ubuntu 1
 - qa.ubuntu.com/conflictchecker
 - probably more things

I don't know why you'd exclude Launchpad, but IS try to run all
machines on one release of Ubuntu, so anything that makes that easier
will benefit LTS migrations.

An important question is, how representative is Canonical of medium
size organisations using Ubuntu? My answer, back from when I was a
sysadmin, is -very typical-. Running an SOE makes administration
immensely easier.

So don't put it on the CD! I didn't suggest, and I don't think it
would be appropriate, to put it on the CD.
