I would be surprised if this was not optional, but it sounds a little scary as stated.
"[B]y the time Ubuntu 9.10 is released on October 29th every single Ubuntu user will have an address book stored in CouchDB that replicates with one.ubuntu.com, and Tomboy notes that are replicated via a web API at the application but then stored in CouchDB and carried along in the CouchDB replication that we have set up. Optionally they can also store all their Firefox bookmarks in CouchDB and have those replicated as well. We'll be doing our best to help teach application developers to use CouchDB in order to 'cloud-enable' their apps." For those looking for a way to backup there Ubuntu machine, https://one.ubuntu.com looks interesting. I normally do all backups in house, so I am not sure if $10/50GB is a good deal. 2Gb/mnth is free.
