No just a darn minute there.  I'm not sure Kubuntu really know just who
'everybody' is.  Particulary the largest percentage of users who represent the
'silent majority'.  And the not as large percentage who try it, find out it
doesn't 'Just Work' for them and move on to another distro without so much as
a whisper.

If everything 'Just Works' users wouldn't be looking for these messages in the
first place.  Finding them just creates one more wild goose to go chasing
after when something doesn't work.  There simply is NO JUSTIFICATION FOR ANY
DISTRO TO KNOWINGLY ACCEPT ERROR MESSAGES.  That's a completely irresponsible
approach to develpment and in no way benefits the community.

If this is all Kubuntu has to offer, then I've already wasted too much time
with it.
