Earlier this month, we reported that Debian had announced a new release schedule; a freeze during December, a release some time in the first half of the following year. After outcries from the Debian community, the December freeze aspect of the plan was reversed. Since most of the ire about this situation seemed to be directed towards Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth decided to step in and offer to put several Canonical employees to work on Debian instead of Ubuntu.

I don't really care about your examples, I don't use Ubuntu and think that anything other than their LTS releases is pure balls.
I also wasn't arguing about it either, all I'm saying is if they put people to work on the source instead of the break you won't have half the crap you get.
The more unmodified Debian packages they use in Ubuntu the better distribution it will be. Win, win for everyone.
