Comment 125 for bug 563878

I was the person who started this bug report nearly one year ago now. I intended to alert the developers to the presence of a bug I thought might affect my graphics card only. I didn't start it with the desire of creating a rant page as seen in forums. I felt a bit awkward when I sent it off - I didn't see how something that doesn't affect the security or stability of a system could count as a bug at a time when developers had more important things to look at. I preferred they put all their efforts into making the show-stopping things work properly rather than concentrating too much of their time and effort on purely visual things.
Whereas I agree that it'd be nice for this splashscreen to work soon, I'd rather Unity functions properly the very day Natty comes out, or that Wayland doesn't screw anything up in the next release, or that kernel vulnerabilities are plugged up... When all that works, then's then time to concentrate on making those few little moments when the computer starts up a visual treat. Believe me I look forward to it, but let's get our priorities right.
Personally, I think this bug report has run its course. All the developers are aware of this issue so maybe it's time to call it a day and close tit. I personally will unsubscribe from my own bug report because I find nothing constructive in these endless rants.
