Heh, we all rant about our most used distro.  

It reminds me of the Debian bug.  One developer put an insult to another
developer in the code.  It was obscene but about as mature as saying
He's a big stupid doody-head.  

Developer 2 filed a complaint as critical bug.  Developer number 3
changed it to minor bug.  Developer 2 felt that if Developer 1 had
something critical to say about D2's code, that was what it was, but as
it was a personal insult, it should be a critical bug.

Something to be said for Mr. Shuttleworth's code of conduct.  I suspect
it's one reason Ubuntu moves ahead so quickly, they can't waste time in
flame wars.  (I assume--how strictly they adhere to it and what happens
when they don't, I have no idea.)
