No, and I'm not the only one. You seem quite sure that the ubuntu team
is always right and the (l)users are always wrong and, being stupid,
can't comprehend the great design behind notify-osd. At the moment I've
never read a word explaining what "consistent way" means and what it is
useful for. Where is the "value"? In what? Where is the value when lots
of people complain about it?
Instead, I already explained why it is much more reasonable, useful and
natural to let the client chose the right (yes, the right) timeout. The
DNS suggests the same.

Sure, but we are talking about notify-osd.

Are you referring at your own messages? Well, this time I agree with you.
