If I write to ubuntu-devel-discuss maybe there is some developer on it, and maybe they can even communicate between each other. But let us stop questioning this since
I am not as stupid as I may look like, therefore I also contacted the list you suggest, as I _already_ replied to Sebastien. That was only two days ago, so you can still scream that this problem is all my fault and that there is nothing bad, that I have to be patient and wait for a reply. I am NOT going to second this: lots of important people, including Mark Shuttleworth, read this list, and if nobody has been concerned with replying about that issue for more than one year, then ubuntu is not respecting the principles that lead _me_ to use and campaign for free software. Time may be still an excuse, so I am going to wait for a week more for an ubuntu-mozilla-team reply. If the issue is not important they may reply in six months or so, but for me it has become an urgent matter. It already was urgent one year ago, but I decided I could live with that. When I saw the custom page being pushed also in the firefox search box, which has the google symbol on it, and no ubuntu specific decoration, I realised I had not been doing my duties as a free software advocate and user, and decided that this time I will either get a satisfactory reply or quit. I publicly committed to the free software philosophy many times, also during my career, so for me it is vital to know if what I am working for is what I expect. > I do think nobody here knows the answer.

Surely much more people than that team knows about this, I do NOT believe that it's a decision of their own, that was not discussed in a broader council. That is why I expected somebody on THIS list to know about that. The fact that I am alone in asking and, also, no developer is worried about that page, is really strange. I can't believe, for example, that ex-debian-developers may pass this under silence. That's another reason why I thought this list would have been ok. Probably philosophy does not drive free software anymore. Eventually, I will grow up and understand that free software is only about licenses, and that money drives all of us. That's a problem of my own.
