I think it's more a matter of perception and/among new users.  As you
know, other distros /do/ use a root account, not sudo, so sudo is new
and different for those coming from another Linux.  Same/same for the
lack of an MTA. (which, BTW, is only supposed to send mail within your
own box, not out to another email account).

Now, the 100% compatibility thing /does/ look like trolling to me, too,
but may be just confusion.

All in all the 'problems' of the past week are pretty tame compared to
some other lists I have used in the past.  KUDOS to the humanity of
this Ubuntu community!  But we could still do with a little explanation
from those In The Know about the MTA thing, I think.
