| | | | Now it's final, the PowerPC edition of Ubuntu is reclassified as unofficial. It means that a community team will take over the support, if tests and bug fixes will not be made by the community the PowerPC edition will fall behind in the release schedule. A PowerPC edition of the next version of Ubuntu will most likely still happen.
In the very same announcement The Ubuntu Technical Board made an announcement about closed-source drivers for Feisty. There has been a lot of discussion whether the next release of Ubuntu, codename Feisty Fawn, should be shipped with closed-source drivers enabled by default of not. The reason would be to be able to enable desktop effects by default and offer a better "3D Desktop" but at the cost of less freedom and a harder time to track down and fix bugs. Now the final decision is made - no Nvidia/ATI closed-source drivers will not be enabled by default. They will still be easily added through the repository just as before.
