:-) Herding cats is very good. I would never want a single application or distro as each has very specific goals and appeal to those with their own specific goals or constraints e.g. hardware etc. However the 30 lane motorway can be narrowed a little sometimes and the slow moving traffic or those that have broken down can be removed. Pooling the knowledge along with sharing fresh ideas should always be promoted and I would agree with you there. Ubuntu does have good focus and constraint to make a quality distribution that does offer a consistent base and extended choice and that formula is one of the things that is helping it gain in popularity and an increased number of users.
