Comment 73 for bug 668415

Tal Liron: The lack of proper Right-to-Left full mirroring is a bug, it's bug #654988 ("Unity doesn't mirror its interface for RTL locales.") should really have been designed in from the start but didn't get done I think because of time constraints … there are RtL users in the design team.

IKT: Indeed; the lack of full RtL is a bug, whereas having a movable Launcher is a Wishlist request—there's nothing to prevent anyone from doing the design, R&D, the implementation or making it work in order to scratch an itch. *However*, designing and supporting a movable Launcher is beyond what the Canonical Unity Design Team, Desktop Experience team or testers can do within the next Ubuntu 11.10 cycle. The limited and valuable time that is available needs to be spent on firming up those elements that are part of the *default* experience first.
