"Self-nominated" is practically the definition of someone who doesn't belong in power.

@Shubhkarman: I don't see how user friendliness enters into it. We're not requiring users know the right tags before they submit questions. Community members can and will add and modify tags as appropriate, just as on other SE sites. The tags aren't for the people asking the question, they're for people answering it, and for people in the future looking for answers to similar questions.

@Andrew: Why? I expect to see plenty of questions, particularly UI-related, that are pretty specific to Kubuntu/Xubuntu/etc.. They ought to be tagged as such.

While I absolutely understand what you're saying, and don't fundamentally disagree with your goal, a disservice is done to users and the community if people keep acting like the command line is to be feared and avoided. It may not look pretty, but it truly is not a difficult beast, and even on Windows and Mac OS X its use is sometimes needed.

@jfoucher: That I don't have an answer to. They may have made some change specific to the webapps site, but not having an interest in it, I haven't been paying attention to what they're doing there.

@Nico: I don't think anybody's actually looking to prevent someone asking about issues using unofficial packages in Ubuntu, but the questions should have a definite link to the fact that the user is on an actual Ubuntu realease. We're just trying to keep from falling off the edge into a completely generic "ask Linux questions here" site.

+1. Codenames get confusing. Considering Ubuntu's "version" numbers actually have real-world meaning (year.month), they're the easiest and least-ambiguous designators.

@Broam: I meant "pretty much the same" in the sense that the user experience is not entirely consistent between them, not that there are fundamental under-the-hood differences.

@Broam: Yeah, I'd let restricted-related stuff through, but tag it when you see it. Whatever the argument, restricted is undeniably something many Ubuntu users will use, and some of them are going to be trying to find help related to packages in it. Actively turning them away due to ethical concerns most of them will not understand or care about will not really help them or the community, and may push them away from Ubuntu and Linux in general.

Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu are all official Ubuntu versions, work pretty much the same, share the same community, and all or part of all of them can be running on a single Ubuntu installation simultaneously with unified package management and for many parts unified configuration and other integration. Splitting the community into little tiny pieces for each version just seems silly, and the branding reason doesn't even make sense.
