Official Why is Ask Ubuntu Support Forums: AskUbuntu or Ubuntuforumson the default installer, and not other support sites?

I was surprised that the upgrade page for Ubuntu 12.04 guided users with questions to AskUbuntu rather than Ubuntuforums; presumably this upgrade page is from the official Canonical website.

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade

Is AskUbuntu now the "official" support forum for Ubuntu and Canonical? I am aware of the link between AskUbuntu and Stack Exchange.

Is Ubuntuforums officially affiliated with or run by CanonicalIn particular, why is Ask Ubuntu on the 11.10 and 12.04 installers, and not any of the other official resources?
