Talking about procrastination I see a big problem for us user of FOSS desktop: RH need to be on GNU/Linux desktop just to play a SUN-like role. IBM have no need for that.

So after Ubuntu ditch desktop and actual "Gnome disaster" I think things will go even worse, leaving us with no more generic GNU/Linux desktop for end-users, pushing us again on a small tech/geek niche, witch in turn push end-users, many "power users" included, to the cloud-mobile world so delete the last bastion of digital freedom we have. On desktop we have our system, we control our files, we decide when and how to upgrade, what to install or uninstall. On mobile vendor choose for us and we are powerless.
