Debian and its clones "Ubuntu caused a lot of friction with and for Debian. In discussions with its founder, Mark Shuttleworth, and other Ubuntu developers during (and before) Debconf6, I was able to spell out the main criticisms from the Debian perspectives of the way Canonical/Ubuntu is handling things (without a claim to completeness). These criticisms mainly stem from discussions with fellow developers over the past 18 months, and I largely support all of them. I am publicising them here to help make the status quo more transparent."

A mutual effort in true partnership would benefit both projects and ultimately the user most. However right now I believe a little consolidation would be a good thing and not more derivatives.

... which is precisely why I am doing all this. I am trying to consolidate (as are a bunch of others), but if it won't work, it's pointless to lose time and energy.

but there are some very visible contributions from the Ubuntu project in testing snapshot right now.

Absolutely.
