Big issue to Open Source. I am Important. 

,----[ Quote ]
| Upstream and Downstream is also important. Big 
| problems come from Downstream thinking they are 
| more important than upstream. Classic case of 
| this is Ubuntu Wiki mind you Ubuntu is not they 
| only one making this mistake. Most 
| documentation in there really should not be 
| there instead should be split up and stored at 
| each of the projects they are talking about. 
| One of the least commodity in the open source 
| world is document writers. Clustering them at 
| the upstream projects would get the most 
| document writers in the one place to create 
| documentation for everyone. This is for the 
| good of the upstream projects.

Ubuntu doesn't get it

,----[ Quote ]
| So in the past Ubuntu packaged PA in a way
| that, let's say, was not exactly optimal. I
| thought they'd gotten around fixing things
| since then. Turns out they didn't. Seems in
| their upcoming release they again did some
| genius thing to make PA on Ubuntu perform worse
| than it could. The Ubuntu kernel contains all
| kind of closed-source and other crap to no
| limits, but backporting a tiny patch that is
| blessed and merged upstream and in Fedora for
| ages, that they won't do. Gah.
