That was my first thought as well, maintaining another spin is just a 
different package list.

But the article makes it sound like this will remove funding that was 
critical to some aspect of it, so I might be oversimplifying the 
influence Canonical had on it.

I can see that they want to push Unity, but I haven't really met anyone 
who likes it (or Gnome 3). Maybe it's because I deal mostly with other 
developers and we're all pretty anal retentive about control, but it 
still feels pretty risky for Canonical to be putting so much behind Unity.
