This was the original model of launchpad.net, it was supposed to be a hub of Foss that pulled in from the decentralised VCS's, and provide them all via bzr.

But bzr lost the battle, Canonical was slow to adopt Git, lack of investment in the platform, so it was another lunch that got taken from them.

Canonical should just rename themselves to Not Invented Here. Their inability to work with others and instead reinventing the same thing badly is beyond comical at this point.

Interesting, got some examples of things they reinvented?
