>From what I understand, that flavour of Ubuntu will be more free (*)
than Fedora (e.g. no firmware, no images/sound that don't include full
source), so such an announcement might backfire.

(*) Depending on how you define freedom, obviously.  I'm well aware
that there's little agreement what "freedom" means when applied to
firmware, images/sound, documentation etc.
