Hi All,

I am truly very disappointed by Ubuntu's dev team decision to ship its latest version of OS without xdmcp functionality.
we all can understand that it is GDM's responsibility to maintain its packages and include/remove functionality, yet it is ubuntu's responsibility to make sure that end user receives product that provides the desired functionality and not half-baked product.
And i am not talking only about home users or some test machines.
The company i work for use ubuntu ALOT(i am talking about tens of ubuntu servers), and by removing xdmcp from latest release, we will have no choice but to avoid upgrade, and later thinking about moving to different OS.
Its a real shame that company so loved by its users, doesn't listen to them anymore..
