Is there an individual in particular that you're thinking of for the
quote? Do you think we can get it quickly? I think it would be ok to add a
fourth quote, since one of the ones we have is generically from the GNOME
release team. I think the Canonical quote is useful, since it's positive
press about GNOME from the company that's been the center of a lot of
negative press for GNOME and says that 3.2 is being used in Ubuntu in an
ongoing way.
