On: Mark Shuttleworth wants to build an Ubuntu installer with Electron

I feel like at this point, we should just be glad that Canonical is not creating a brand new API/framework/specification/"standard", and actually using an existing one.

Reinventing the wheel... there's the fantastic Calamares Installer Framework which solves exactly this problem: https://calamares.io/

> Reinventing the wheel

Canonical is notorious for doing this. The silver lining in this case is that they aren't reinventing all of the pieces of the wheel..

Yea, Calamares is a really cool project. It's a shame Canonical isn't using it.
