i stand 100% behind your post. the problem is not the decision itself, but the way how it was
- discussed
- communicated
- implemented

And i think this is a very important question for the whole community:
Should ubuntu ignore the community (lp,brainstorm, etc ..) to attract the "average pc user"?
The average user doesn't share ANY of the opensource ideas.
The average user does not care about what is opensource, why H264 is not working in FF, why DRM can cause troubles.
The average user does not care about thousands of people making great software available for free, not getting anything paid.
Ubuntu has always been about community, together and not against.

with this little issue a wrong way has been taken. Maybe it will lead to nice gui stuff on the right, but the way how it was done is WRONG.

take the lesson and never make the same mistake twice. community is the key factor of success for ubuntu
