“Even though the Sounder list might seem like an insignificant
(and out of place) part of the community, I see this as yet another
step that Canonical is taking against the very community that’s
made Ubuntu so successful.“With the debacle that is Ubuntu’s switch to Unity already
polarizing users and driving many away and now the closing of a
social list, it’s slowly becoming obvious that Canonical is taking
a step away from the happy community project that could take over
the desktop and taking one towards corporatism.”
