Comment 291 for bug 332945

I can fully agree on the fact that this bug report, brainstorm, or the
forums for that matter; are highly biased on a matter such as this. But
until someone is able to display good evidence that the unrepresented
part of the user-base thinks otherwise, the feedback here is the only
thing you have to go by. You cannot claim that 'the users who are not
writing here thinks differently' without pointing to conclusive evidence
that this is the case.

The picture I get at the moment is that the developers have a 'hunch'
that this is the way to go, with few clear arguments for support,
whereas the majority of the users who take the time to provide feedback,
think it is not, and is able to provide several, and clearer, arguments
for it.

If we are to continue on this path we would need to have clear evidence
that either a majority of users think this change is positive OR
evidence that this will increase users likeliness to install updates, to
a notable degree, with a minimal impact on usability and security
(annoyance, unsafe pop-up tolerance, etc.)

Until such evidence is supplied, Ubuntu is, in this specific matter, no
longer a community project, since it does not listen to the community.
