Right, which is why the first and last paragraph (or, to be more 
accurate, the first paragraph and the last footnote) make it clear that 
these instructions apply to Ubuntu. Chances are that those of us who are 
running pulse *know* it, and while yes it *is* my choice whether or not 
to remove it, I did the necessary research to find a compromise solution 
that keeps those of us Ubuntu users who choose on the golden path while 
not appearing to sacrifice any latency.

So by all means, use which distribution you choose, and use or don't use 
whatever software you choose. But if you choose ubuntu and would rather 
not have to remove pulse after every upgrade, give this a shot and see 
if it works. What this does is takes away some of the bad consequences 
associated with one choice, so it actually *empowers* choice.
