Good luck with that vision. I would buy into it a bit more if this
wasn't the same chestnut dragged out every couple of releases to
somehow motivate us to accept whatever big OS change is being pushed.
It has become the "Cry Wolf" story and while eventually the wolf eats
the flock... it does so because no one believes the criers anymore.
Please, come up with a better story than people will drop us for
Ubuntu because none of the changes we have done have stopped that from
happening when it has happened.. and none of them have made us
overtake Ubuntu in the last 8 years.
