In a school environment, there are a large number of users, both students and mainly older staff, who have just recently learned to consistently locate the power button and shut down the machine from within the operating system. My concern is in providing support for transitioning these users through a change that appears to be change for the sake of change, adding no functionality. My suggestion would be to continue with a default buttons on the right arrangement, making the new arrangement easily available through a GUI.

Regarding the comments that have been less than polite, please understand I am making no indictment against Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical, or the Ubuntu developers--quite the contrary. I really like Ubuntu and the packages that come with it; they are delightful, and Mr. Shuttleworth is appreciated. Even though the comments here and in other places may not always be complimentary, they show significance and impact--people care!
