Yes, title is exaggeration, but danger is there.

I agree with you. I think that you would have made a better point with a shorter post on your blog, which would have included your final clarification from the beginning - so I recommend that you re-write it. But I see your points, and I completely agree with you: I don't like where Canonical is driving Ubuntu at all.

Don't like to change too much once it's up.

It seems disingenuous to me to change anything other than grammar/typos of the original post after the fact, that's why I added things at the end. People have already commented on the original and making it go away seems like playing revisionist history to me. The title was a poor choice; I've been convinced of that, but changing it now seems like an attempt to take back what's already been said.

Sorry I wasn't clear (to partially vindicate myself: I'm not an English native speaker).

What I meant was a completely new "follow-up" post, much shorter, with a different title, taking into account from the beginning what you wrote in the postface. You should link the new post right at the beginning of the "old" one.

But as I said, I completely agree with you, so that new post would only be useful to others who haven't read (and/or discussed and/or fully understood your points).
