Whoa there!
He used the word "canonical", not the trademark "Canonical". From wiktionary:
Adjective
canonical (comparative more canonical, superlative most canonical)
1. Present in a canon, religious or otherwise.
The Gospel of Luke is a canonical New Testament book.
2. According to recognised or orthodox rules.
The men played golf in the most canonical way, with no local rules.
3. Stated or used in the most basic and straightforwardly applicable manner.
This definition would be more useful if it were canonical.
4. Prototypical.
5. (religion) In conformity with canon law.
6. (music) In the form of a canon.
7. (religion) Of or pertaining to an ecclesiastical chapter
8. (mathematics, computing) In canonical form.

I don't appreciate Ubnutu questions on this mailing list (they have their
own), but the grandparent post had nothing to do with Ubuntu.
