FWIW, I'm not sure Ubuntu is less buggy than Fedora and if you examine
many earlier threads on that topic about this I'm sure you'll find
sufficient evidence.

Seems to work fine for Ubuntu. And all you're achieving, Søren, with
that comment is just affirming another myth: that having a target
audience means that you exclude other users. We _don't_ have to alienate
or exclude computer experts. It's not either or. It's not black and
white. If you think about it, it's mainly about messaging, and that's
one thing we've surely need to fix.
