enlightenment never "supported ubuntu". some individuals dod some packaging at
some point and made ppas or voulunteered to be official package maintainers and
put them into debian and/or ubuntu. a lot of the core devs now have stopped
using ubuntu, or never used it at all.
so.. no we didn't stop supporting ubuntu. we actually are pretty distro
agnostic. there are too many distros with too much complexity to go supporting
them all, and to be honest, supporting ubuntu is fighting the os itself.
now onto the future. canonical wants to productize ubuntu more, have their own
display system (mir), and everything tightly bound and controlled by the
desktop environment they make. that's fine. it's their distro, but it is not
friendly to efl or e, and thus we have no plans on supporting the future
of ubuntu. if you use ubuntu, then make your choices, stick to it and drop e
and efl as that is the reality of ubuntus future, or switch, as ubuntu and
canonical are on a path very much different to most of the rest of the linux
ecosystem.
