In that case, bug #1 is a very bad joke, and a very bad bug. A project's bug-tracker is not a place for such jokes (unless on April Fools, and then they should be closed). > > > 4.

I don't welcome any overlords whatsoever, especially if they are as abusive, lack as much focus, are full of hubris and self-pompousness and are as bad as Ubuntu are. Ubuntu may be here for a while, but I expect it to heavily decline in popularity in the near future, and I'll certainly recommend everyone to switch to Mandriva, MEPIS, Debian, CentOS or whatever, or not use *Ubuntu in the first place. And Ubuntu should really get a sustainable business model.
