Comment 428 for bug 332945

hdante: Your snide remarks made me chuckle for quite a while. I'm all for a program that does that!

Seriously, though, at 31 dupes, more subscribers than I can count, and a 100 percent (I believe) consensus from the community that this behavior is stupid, I'm a little sad to notice that there's nothing being done. Or rather, nothing ALLOWED to be done. It seems to be beyond the point of "the average user as opposed to the power user". The sheer, overwhelming number of people, power user or no, that agree that this *needs* to be changed for the better should be a fair indicator.

I'm not terribly miffed if a faulty program is shipped by default in Ubuntu (Hardy's PulseAudio - what a mess), but I am extremely sad that my favorite cause has to become so distinguished in its tact (or lack therof). I'm just trying to illustrate the reality that this is truly offensive to some people. This and the whole Ubuntu One naming fiasco is something that I think needs much revision. I really adore Canonical, and I think you and Shuttleworth all have done wonders for the community, but you must remember that this relationship is symbiotic! Without each other, there's no Ubuntu, just another distro!
