I liked it better when Ubuntu was a truly community effort backened by Canonical because it felt like Debian (I was a Debian user back then, 2004). Now seems that Canonical keeps the "come and contribute" thing but at the same time there's an anti-community attitude that I definitely don't like.
Regarding the bugs, I think Ubuntu had some really good releases, and now we're "suffering" new software that obviously has new bugs :) That's going to happen in any distro that tries to innovate adding new stuff and the latest versions; at least in the desktop arena that's what you get, and it's fine. The server world is completely different, and Ubuntu it's doing as good as any other distro. I know I can't tell Canonical what to do, I don't think OSS communities work that way. OSS comminities DO stuff, so everybody is free to report bugs, provide feedback, patches, etc; or just move to a different desktop or distribution and contribute there. My two cents.
