Now am sure a lightning is gonna strike you and you gonna become
green as a toad!! Have you contributed to Ubuntu?
I don't think this is the right question to ask Manoj who contributes
(a lot) to Debian which _is_ upstream for various packages in Ubuntu.
I am waiting for a true-next-generation OS that would be a
mix(+advanced) of the present OS'es and give it for free.
Why wait? Start writing it! :-)
To get to your other points. There should be honest criticism of all
FOSS activities --- this could include expressing animosity where it
is heartfelt.[1] That is what the "O" stands for.
Trolling is the only really pointless activity!

Kapil.
[1] Alternatively, one could use various techniques to reduce one's
blood pressure so that one's heart doesn't feel the animosity! :-)
