Thanks, glad to be here.

That was a fair-and-balanced(tm) heuristic. Although I guess that the
-50 point rule  is mostly for show.

I'll assign a 3 to Ubuntu then, since Josh's reply has to be taken as
a complaint.

Actually, I'll add a few more rules.

* -1 for extreme useage of orange everywhere
* -10 for cliché images of happy people on the project home page

So that makes -8 for Ubuntu. But they get brownie points for actually
making progress on the desktopization of Linux.
