Comment 6 for bug 1594904

I do not want to be annoying, but this is important:
This is a severe problem. It's not just bad.
A central property of a Linux system with a windowing system running on it is, since the first days of Linux, that the underlying system below the window system just works.
And if any important component even remotely cares about where I have my home directory, or even what the technical details of the path are, that is just broken.
I may even know where my home directory is, physically and in any abstract sense. A user may not even understand the technical concepts involved. That is a perfectly valid situation, if a system like Ubuntu is aimed at desktop users. I think this should be in the category of maximal importance. I would even agree it should block a release. That it is hard to fix is not a valid reason to give it low importance. (Note I'm not angry writing this, and it is not meant aggressive.)

Again, this is a really big issue.
