Comment 16 for bug 268447

I disagree. I think it is a poor precedent to expose advertising for proprietary products in the default configuration. This should be opt-in, not opt-out. While this is not terribly intrusive, I think it sets a poor precedent.

"No advertising be default" is an easy rule to understand and implement. "Advertising shouldn't be intrusive" is much more subjective and will cause conflicts in the future. I'd prefer we had a simple, clear rule that we don't do this kind of thing in Ubuntu.
