I think you have just mentioned this, but an article I read earlier suggests
that many other distributions (probably Ubuntu as well?) will follow suit
and give that package the boot. Civility and conditional acceptance are the
glue that keeps communities together. Imagine having Ellison in your dev
team... or Ballmer jumping up and down with a couple of
pom-ponH^H^H^H^H^H^s.

Best wishes,

Roy
