It's time to let go, Apache Software Foundation

I've always wondered about that, I feel like ubuntu sometimes doesn't contribute fixes upstream. When I hear 'it works on ubuntu but not on distro X', it makes me wonder why ubuntu devs didnt post the fixes upstream.

* I do realise that different release timings can fudge with the timing, but when fedora is building upstream versions and I hear it, its a bit.. disheartening.

I think this usually doesn't really have to do with Canonical at all, but with third party developers only testing against and building for Ubuntu.

Possibly, the examples I chased down are usually patches to the gnome userspace stack.
