I can see that if this was a smaller project, it wouldn't create many waves. But come on, Ubuntu is #1. I'm moving to Lucid from Hardy because of LTS. I run LTSP servers for thousands of students and teachers. They are ALL going to complain to me. As easy as it is to fix w/gconf, this is going to make Ubuntu look very inconsistent to them. That is not good for the image of Ubuntu to its users.
From a support standpoint this is a nightmare.
