I'm crystal clear that the Canonical community team's QA effort is focused on 
trying to get the broader community to do QA on Canonical products.  I think 
that's quite unfortunate.  Rather than just trying to get free labor for 
Canonical, I would have hoped you wanted to make QA better for the entire 
Ubuntu project.

This is in marked contrast to Daniel Holbach's efforts (which I've been 
watching and appreciating, but not had much time to get involved with) to 
bring new blood into the Ubuntu development process.  He's pursing the kind of 
holistic approach I'd hope to see from your entire team.
