Community response of new ubuntu artwork

[Richard Shortland]

I'm in full agreement about ditching Ubuntu because of the immaturity of the 
community.  I have already deleted it from my machine though I will continue 
to monitor the mailing list and see what the outcome is before reinstalling. 
Also I will not be recommeding Ubuntu to anyone anymore due to this 
immaturity.
