It is quite nice to notice that _our_ /dear/ Release Team was in touch
with Ubuntu (nothing wrong with that) but forgot to get in touch with
us ;-)

There's nothing wrong and discuss plans with other projects and share
ideas; what is completely wrong is to not discuss it with us specially
because WE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE IT (NOT) HAPPEN.
