Thank you for your opinion, however problem is a little wider than you discussed. It impacts all systems which are based on Ubuntu as a derivative works and which I assume you call "unsupported", but which widely exist, have multiple users and were still compatible with Ubuntu ecosystem - the same way like Ubuntu is compatible with Debian, and based on plenty of Debian solutions. I understand that the business intention of this hostile technical decision is to make Ubuntu incompatible and less user configurable than it was possible before, due to focusing on corporate environment. This is obvious for me however it needs to be expressed clearly - Canonical sends non-corporate users and system modders big f...arewell, which also from marketing perspective will impact both Ubuntu&Canonical goodwill and reputation. No matter how you will justify enforcing bloatware within your experience model - you will face the same outcome as other companies (like Google with Android bloatware).
One more final remark - my systems were officially unsupported since the beginning, and many people spent time supporting your product either directly or indirectly. And due to this farewell decision Canonical will be unsupported now.
