I do not think Ubuntu should join. I like how Ubuntu is now, with scheduled
releases (following Gnome release schedule).
* (If so,) Should Ubuntu join immediately; ...in 3 months, ...in 6 months?

I think any benefits would be more to Debian, than Ubuntu. Debian would gain
a lot of input (theoretically) from the rather large Ubuntu base of users.
Ubuntu would gain a little, from having a stronger voice in the direction of
Debian.
* Any negative impacts joining would have on: (a) Ubuntu, (b) Debian.
I think the negative impact on Ubuntu would be a shift in focus from what it
seems to be now. I like how it is at the moment, taking what is available
from Debian at that moment and then concentrating on the other things,
Gnome, apps, etc.
Actually I don't see any negative impact on Debian... maybe only a small
change that may not suit other Debian voices, as Ubuntu would have a
stronger influence than now.
(You may also read the last two questions as "The downsides of /not/

Good choice of words! All anyone can do is "attempt" neutrality, as we are
all biased by our limit of experiences. As long as all voices are heard.
