Then they would do outright wrong, because "senseless comparison", connected
with specific conditions when it is, relates to comparison, and not to efforts.
I cannot help if people feel offended when they wrongly attribute something
personally, and don't think that I should re-phrase logically consistent
sentences in anticipation of such an event (or else I better don't try to
answer at all). The question aimed to clarify one detail that might have
something to do with the reason of your observations, and described why it is
relevant.

Yes.

Because the Ubuntu packaging team is not TDF, and whatever they do with their
packages, is not something TDF keeps track of. Of course, any distro has an
advantage to be able to build their packages against system libraries, while
TDF generates builds that are expected to run on widest possible systems, so
have very old baseline etc.
