How can this be so, when Wine and Java apps are still supported? What makes them different than any other app that doesn't support appindicator? Isn't the fact that they are exceptions somewhat of an acknowledgment that this is a bad idea on some level? Where is the process to appeal for whitelisting of other apps by those of us who otherwise like Unity?

Leaving the whitelisting option is much better for everyone, because if an apps tray icon has to be whitelisted and causes problems, that's on the person who whitelisted it. If an app's whitelisted and works fine, all the better.

I have spent a lot of time and written a lot of words turning various peoples opinions around to a positive outlook on Unity, and this one change is all it took to drive me to KDE for as long as the programs I use are broken (which looks like forever, given their devs reactions), because I *need*, not *want*, to use those programs.
