   But hey, I am tired of attempting to bring balance to this topic here; I get enough flak from the Ubuntu folks when I talk to them :-)

   The focus on that one, erroneous channel is distracting you from the rest of the experimentation.

   The fact it is in the boilerplate at all; plus I and many others disagree that "these two viewpoints are different at the deepest level".

   It has be seen in the overall context of UI experimentation. The opt-out-only mediation in this case is a mistake, I agree.

   I see it more as a solution seeking a problem. It's what clever people do when they invent something :-)

   OK, conversation over. No point continuing.

   I wonder why the FSF thinks it needs to attack open source in the boilerplate of every press release? http://ur1.ca/c7qy7

    They are attempting innovation in both UI & function. The fact the Amazon function is not opt-in is an error but the attempt is worthy.

    I don't think the evidence truly supports that. They're experimenting & innovating; that does not void their historic contribution.

    It's a Twit.TV show. They can handle most other things too, but it's the production team's preference.
