   An enterprise distro that comes with a browser that you can’t use to file   
   your taxes (or otherwise interact with the government) in several   
   countries, because you can’t use smartcards (and thus no eID) inside   
   snaps?  I don’t call that an enterprise distro...   
      
   (Also, the forced updates are another issue for enterprises, I would   
   think.)
