Comment 281 for bug 668415

>It's just sheer, childish stubborness at this point. All of the reasons provided for the "won't fix" on this bug (and let's remember: those kept changing) turned out to be excuses. They decided not to make the Launcher movable, and they're going to stick to that decision whatever the cost, because they're too proud.

I fully agree with you. As I said before (and thus I repeat myself now, too): it would be nice to hear at least an official statement that the people who made the design decisions made some very bad decisions concerning the launcher and that the will consider solving the issue by thinking about a movable launcher after Precise.
But saying "we lack manpower" is not an excuse at all if the development team rejects the idea of a movable launcher entirely.
