• Default installed applications.
  • Automatic inclusion of “Ubuntu One”.
  • Empathy. Empathy. Empathy.
  • Unity. Especially since Gnome Classic is no longer an option in 11.10 forward.
  • Plymouth. I get that it tries to give a nice graphical boot, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it work seamlessly. Also, purple.
  • Insane metapackages.
  • Slow boot.
  • Themes. Who is in charge of the color palette for these themes? Seriously?
  • Server Edition: Can we get the configuration questions entirely out of the way in the first part, so the system can complete the install on it’s own, without having to come back to it every 5-10 minutes to answer a question?
