I don't like Ubuntu anymore, but not because of "how it operates."
More because of "how it operates, without being forthcoming about what its new purpose is, which is not 'everybody's Linux.'"
You're trying to be a tool to support big corporate IT. That is absolutely fine, good even. Getting more Linux in that space, under Ubuntu's name, seems pretty cool.
But you're no longer "the people's choice" when you behave that way. They're putting in big grown up restrictions and ideas and methods of doing things, and they just need to be honest about that.
