Who thinks up this crazy ideas? Pushing unfinished crap on users is the stupid.

Ok, gdm needs to advance, but what was wrong with the usual migrationary process of calling this new package gdm2 and installing that by default to encourage migration, but keeping the old (working!) gdm1 in the repositories for those who can't stand to lose the other features? This has worked for Grub, and tons of other packages..

I'm slowly getting turned from ubuntu (which I've been both using and advocating for years). With each release comes stupid regressions that are wrought with politics and madness.

Please, consult (& listen) the USERS, not just the DEVELOPERS when making major changes like this.. A little democracy wouldn't hurt here and there..
