Comment 309 for bug 668415

@Mark Shuttleworth

I agree with having it on the left as default. We need a standard somewhere :)
I do not agree that we cannot have it as a user selected option from the Appearance menu (just like the icon re-sizer that you eventually succumbed too but did not appear in the original unity) as an OOTB solution to dock it at the bottom.
As this is a worthy enhancement to the platform (remember some tablets are used in Landscape mode :P).

As we have seen with the "unity-shellrotated" unofficial customization tweak the demand is there. Especially as people are crying since it failed to work from 11.10. There is massive demand for this, real user community demand. And many others like myself do not want to use this or that dock. We love Unity, we want better Unity. Hey I should copyleft that "Better Unity" :P.

But do not take our word for it, lets prove it to you. Why not let us the community sponsor this OTTB enhancement to Ubuntu. Yes cost this change for us and then its up to us to raise the money to accelerate the delivery of this enhancement that could live in the appearance menu as another nice option but not disrupt your overall strategy.

I believe Ubuntu needs this for future proper tablet support (Nexus has the Launcher on the bottom you know :P).
It will show the community has a say and power to even move the mighty Ubuntu team to make much requested changes.
It will show open source pays after all and for changes users want, not draconian Vista implementations that users hate. Apparently "humanity towards others" is something we all aspire too here, lets show we are not Google and have not abandoned our core principals.

Willing to let us prove it to you?
What do you say? Game on?
