Yes, I agree. And we should get rid of Kubuntu as well. And Xubuntu.
That's just silly.
Regardless, I am not involved with this project at all. So, direct your
concerns to Mark. He has listened to me to some degree, otherwise we
wouldn't even be seeing such a thing.
I am just the messanger.

Just as an FYI to those of you who might be
interested in this...
I have it on good authority that Mark Shuttleworth has been working
towards hosting a multimedia-oriented derivative of Ubuntu, set for
Dapper+1 release time.
I should know more on Monday, after his conference call.
My own speculation is that it will be called "Mubuntu" given this:
Domain name: MUBUNTU.COM
Administrative Contact:
Troup, James hostmaster(a)canonical.com

Arrrgh.... why? Why not just make regular Ubuntu usable for multimedia?
This fragmentation is idiotic and will destroy Linux. Linux as an audio
platform will be a joke as long as a customized distro is required to
use it.
OSX and Windows don't need a "Multimedia edition" why should Linux?
