Yes, I'm listening and reasoning. This has been debated extensively on
the unity-design list. You can find the rationale from me there. I take
Ubuntu and Unity very seriously, I devote my life to them. Decisions are
not taken lightly, but even decisions that are carefully taken will have
folk who disagree. It is not possible to please everybody all the time,
even those who are generally supportive of what we're doing, or
contributors, will disagree with some bits.

The issue has been settled, and if you care enough about it, you'll find
the rationale and be satisfied that at least it was considered and
experimented with and decided against. This was one of my favourite
features too, but I believe taking it out makes the whole better.

I will never convince all of you. So I'm just going to tease those of
you who want to start this discussion again from step 1.0.
