Comment 12 for bug 772792

@conscioususer

yes, am pretty aware how development works.

>In everything you wrote, you didn't mention one single advantage of the current behavior.

for me there is NONE really, am advocating the old one for default too :)

But like i said before, if they don't "want" (who knows why) to implement it by default or they bring in some other new weird behavior, they need to keep the old behaviors people used as an option. For example something new they introduced was "auto/intelli-hide" over the "launcher-always-visible" behavior. The new one is better IMO, but for those who want or got used to always having the launcher visible, they can still set it back to.

Unity is still experimental and when you're experimenting you need to keep options for users, no matter what changes or until the dust settles.

Now this is only when "users are divided", so if no one comes to defend the current behavior with valid arguments, than there is no need for it and can be dropped in favor of bringing the old one back!
