It's all about dev mentality and habits. It a known issue with |
| 8 |
Canonical. AFAIK, they are trying to change. That's what Mark |
| 9 |
Shuttleworth did announce at least (don't know the facts). |

The video is more about developpers than users. The upstream (as I |
| 15 |
understand here from the video and the Joshua Doll's post) is what we |
| 16 |
find upstream from the maintainers of the distribution. I guess that |
| 17 |
Joshua wasn't talking about the users at all. |
