Growing Ubuntu for Cloud and IoT, Rather Than Phone and Convergence
I think this is the right decision for Ubuntu.I also think that convergence is the future, but I don't think the market is ready for it. Phones run on ARM, desktops run on x86. The non-Pro Microsoft Surface is good, but many people still have a few x86-only legacy applications or devices that need a "real computer". USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 adoption is just barely in its infancy, and it'll be a couple of years before we start seeing it on affordable mass-market phones, laptops, printers, monitors, and so forth.I think we've got another decade or so to go, but the pieces are slowly moving into place. Unity was a bit too far ahead of its time.
