Wow - really impressed at the immense amount of negativity lately on 
this list... over Christmas.... and New Years... when most sensible

Be happy - Ubuntu is an awesome project - there are lots of massive 
changes in the works with the transition to snaps. I'm sure there will 
be more information/an announcement soon.
