Citing these as a case of NIH is inaccurate -- Upstart and Bazaar predate Systemd and Git, respectively.
It's fairer to say that Canonical's technology, for whatever reason, often doesn't seem to catch on with the broader FOSS community.

Ah! That's my error; thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't realized that. I'll edit my comment.
Original comment:

I really appreciated Ubuntu back in '06 when my laptop's wifi and graphics drivers just worked out of the box. I've used Ubuntu in various forms for a long time. But their management has some serious NIH problems.
