It would be rather awful for the industry if they were to suddenly collapse. They are too big to fail, in a way.
Really? I know of no one that is actually purchasing support through them.
As a platform they are massive, and are used globally, that I understand. The question I have is Canonical doing most of the software development or is the community?
Canonical does loads of the development and lots of places use their software because they can get support, not necessarily because they do get support. This will have a lot of ripples.
Maybe Red Hat or Suse would pick up support contracts to protect customers.
