If they provide kernel support, wouldn't it result in patches, which then would have to visible in the above statistics?

(BTW, I want to reiterate that I have nothing against Canonical, and in fact at one time our company was considering purchasing support. Alas, instead there was a company-wide downgrade from Kubuntu to Windows XP for all non-developers. That however is a different subject...)

Support can either mean hand holding (ie) do foo to accomplish bar or it can be mean prioritized bug fixes or new features and if it is the latter and the vendor is pushing those fixes upstream, then it would show up in these statistics.

Well handholding seems scarce if I have to look at some Launchpad projects, so there is not much left.
