Comment 86 for bug 1054776

From my perspective (I filed the bug): I accept that it's not strictly a 'bug', in that the code is doing what the authors intended it to. But complaining about it in other forums isn't going to get anywhere - I want to bring the issue to the attention of the people developing it, and have a mature conversation about how best we can resolve the concerns while keeping a useful feature.

I filed this before Mark Shuttleworth had publically commented on his blog - unfortunately, now that he has done, I'm not optimistic that there will be any resolution of this before 12.10. I'm not pleased with the way this feature was rushed in late in the day (because "This is a sabdfl driven project"), and I'm annoyed that Mark described our concerns as 'FUD'.
