I think that way lies madness, for so many reasons. It's not exactly
encouraging of the principles of Free Software, nor is it particularly
practical. Would we hold a GR to say "Ubuntu is the Antichrist"? Some sort
of technical thing to micq our packages against Ubuntu? I don't really see
the value in it, either -- what's it going to get us? I seriously doubt
that, even if we *wanted* a PR war, that we could win it.
