The problem with launchpad is that it's a bit of a double edge sword. 
Obviously it being a proprietary service is an issue, but at the same time the 
main advantages of the way Launchpad works relies one everyone using the same 
system and the only real way to enforce that is to keep it closed.

It's a shame really because I like the system personally and I think it has 
some really good advantages but at the same time it sucks that it's closed 
source.
