You can be sure that people like jspaleta would still criticize them, because they would find something where they would not contribute _enough_. Just look at generic reports about something and he jumping in with pseudo-questions that are meant to slant Ubuntu and especially Canonical in some way. And sadly, there are enough folks like him in our community.

Sadly, I don't believe there are.
Jef's unwillingness to drink the Kool-Aid, combined with an unusual level of honesty and accuracy, is highly appreciated.
If that attitude were more prevalent, I feel Free Software would seem more appealing to a wider number of users because the community would demonstrate a lesser degree of obviously ludicrous self-delusion.

Absolutely.
It's always heartening to see people straying off the local maximum chase, that is universal pleasantness, and into some soul searching and inconvenient question asking.
Periods of peaceful and undisturbed focus are important, but so are periods of wider perspective and introspection.
