It promotes material, so, therefore, an ad. The issue is not coming in that it exists (ftmp) but what it might lead to. I am not a super hater, and I did screw up some of my phrasings but the point stands that this should not be there. I could have written this better, but the point stands, and I don't want to rewrite it as the point stands perfectly. It is what it can lead to that scares me, even though this ad is fairly harmless otherwise.
They make more than one now they want to tell people. Maybe it's not leading anywhere, I think you're just jumping to conclusions. If they start promoting someone else then... Your point would be valid. And the definition of an ad is material paid for by a 3rd party for promotion printed, or shared though types of media. They put a line about their own product hence... Not an ad.

It is an ad, by definition, and maybe I am jumping to conclusions but Canonical has struggled with trust recently.
Yours is hate not reason. They have a right to promote their in-house product
They also did this before they were mentioning the automatic security patching canonical livepatch... Did that bother you too?
I have yet to have information on it, but once I do I will then form an opinion.
