Nope. The Ubuntu developers would probably just carry on doing what they doing now - developing on Ubuntu. What makes you think they'd change?

And that groups have different priorities to what you have. alan -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
