Regarding this topic separating Ubuntu Studio from Ubuntu makes no
sense. Ubuntu Studio is an Ubuntu flavour, this comes with all the pros
and cons. One of the pros is, that a user could install everything from
the official repositories. One con is, that a user could install
everything from the official repositories.

Even the IC design is tricky in many ways. From hearsay intelligence
agencies usually try not to use the IC design to spy, but they replace
ordered ICs with ICs that are more error-prone, if large orders are
sent from one nation to another _less_ liked nation.
