I agree with most (if not all) of your comments regarding Red Hat and Fedora, but let me clarify a few things about Ubuntu that you got wrong:

1) To say that 44% of recent upgrades had failures is wrong. It's not a "fact".
And the reason some people have failed upgrades is because they installed unsupported software that caused conflicts later on. Any distribution may suffer from this problem.

2) If you install XFCE or KDE on Ubuntu, it won't change any of the splash screens or themes. However, if you install Xubuntu and Kubuntu on Ubuntu, you will.

Hmm. Two contradictory assertions, neither one supported or sourced. Which one do I believe...?

(Please, if you're going to make claims of the nature of either "X is true" or "no it isn't", back them up with something - otherwise your claims are worth less than your silence would have been.)

Untrue. You can try to apt-get install xubuntu-default-settings and then reboot. The gdm splash will change.
