you completely missed the point.
obviously ubuntu is nowhere without shuttleworth. he pretty much pays for everything as part of his rich guy philanthropy.
as far as community support goes that's not what a business is looking for in most cases and not what i was talking about...
Canonical isn't dead and while the only good choice i think they've made is base Ubuntu on Debian if earnings are increasing that usually means that the company isn't dead.
