Press fodder. Set them up high and then knock 'em down. It makes news 
on the way up, and also on the way down.
As Ubuntu gets higher profiles as I am sure It will, it is going to 
happen much more. A tribute to growing fame. I would be a bit happier 
if the marketing list showed a little more awareness of what publicity 
can do. Perhaps I expect to much.
