Sorry for my sarcasm. I read so much about the topic that sometimes I
loose the seriousness it deserves. I really hope for a solution to
satisfy both parties, mainly because I think the issue is an example for
similar decisions in the future of Ubuntu. It's about simplicity vs
freedom of choice - a true challenge for Opensource.

I'd like to thank you Mark, that you tolerate (and read!) these comments
in your bug tracker although this bug has already been marked as "Won't
fix". Your presence helps a lot to keep confidence in Ubuntus future and
to stay serious in such discussions.

For people like me who cannot understand why valuable tooltips are gone
I recommend to read
http://design.canonical.com/2010/04/notification-area/. This article
helped me to understand the other point of view. And there we could also
leave comments that do not fit here.
