"Moving everything to the left opens up the space on the right nicely,
and I would like to experiment in 10.10 with some innovative options
there. It's much easier to do that if we make this change now."
It'd have been nice if this comment had been made some time ago, together with a deep reasoning on the concrete changes that are in mind.
We are supposed to be a community, we all use Ubuntu and contribute to it, and we deserve some respect regarding these kind of decisions. We all make Ubuntu together, or is it a big lie? If you want to tell us that we are all part of it, we want information, and we want our opinion to be decisive.
I'm talking about polls where only 10% of the people wants this change. And I'm talking about the secrecy on the reasons and the future UI plans for Ubuntu, which will deeply affect all of us. We want to take part of it, and we are excluded, as we were in the new branding design. I've seen lots of proposals for new brandings and themes over these years (been using ubuntu since Warty indeed), some of them really good, and most of them going nowhere. There is talent in the community. But someone decided then that it wasn't what we needed, that we needed no change. And now, someone has decided that it is the moment, now we need a change, but without our contribution, without our opinion. Without us.
If we are working together, if this is *really* a community, there are a few things wrong here.
