My thoughts:

I think this is a good concept, though I'll likely stick with LTS until I'm
confident the devs have perfected it by the next LTS release 14.04. I
utilize Amazon for most of my music and many apps as well, though I do
think there should be an on/off option for those users that don't want to
utilize it.
