I find myself agreeing with Kushal here.

Being an ambassador implies a sense of "special loyalty" to the distribution and playing a role as an advocate for the overall success of the project.

For one of "our" advocates to also be an advocate for our biggest competitors might put the loyalty aspect into question.

But then again, maybe I am wrong?

I am not saying that we should not be friends with other projects. But
if one claims
to be an ambassador and then in public events talks about other
distributions, that
should raise a question.
