(Get the code!)
Mark,
your comments on John's report are absolutely valid indeed (especially the Code of Conduct part), but please consider how upset the user has to be to express his opinion in such a way, and even more so seeing as how neither You nor Canonical seem to listen to users that object in more appropriate language (not that I defend his manners, of course).
And I dare say that except for the choise of words John is completely and utterly right: by trying to smoothen the user experience on touchscreen devices Canonical is a) ruining the user experience for orders of magnitude more users with conventional hardware, b) does that by breaking things that worked well for ages without providing an option to revert back to sane settings, and, as if that wasn't enough, c) does all this in an LTS release. As confronting the Code of Conduct as they are, John's words seem to be the most accurate summary of the situation, don't they?
