I actually see this as a benefit. I'm tired of getting bugmail for kubuntu
and ubuntu docs - they are _never_ relevant to me. And if one happens to be,
it should be discussed on the mailing list.

Furthermore, it is entirely possible to disable the bug reporting ability
for products.

I'm also concerned that this would lead to the various branches

How would having separate products do this? They'll all still be listed on
the same page under the commit team as the commit team will retain ownership
of the branch.

You suggest several negative things will occur by following the correct
semantic of  having one product for one product. However, I fail to see by
which mechanism those negative things will occur.

Thanks,
