As downstream integrators, we should work on increasing the available upstream development manhours, or else we we'll run out of new things to integrate.

It seems to me, from crimsun's message above, that he and Ubuntu are doing that by providing a training ground for developers new to Linux. Sure, not everyone who tweaks an audio stack or whatever will go on to be an upstream developer, but some will. Not everyone who goes to school goes into research to discover new knowledge, either -- that doesn't mean we should berate schools for not doing enough.
