The list where the design is discussed, see comment #95

> No, and I'm not the only one. You seem quite sure that the ubuntu team
is always right and the (l)users are always wrong and, being stupid,
can't comprehend the great design behind notify-osd.

Nobody said that, the Ubuntu team just decided on a design for Ubuntu
without any claim of being right or not, nobody said either that users
are wrong or stupid. You could respect the choice of Ubuntu to take
decisions on what they are doing, nobody is forcing you to use Ubuntu if
you think the decision don't fit your needs either

> never read a word explaining what "consistent way" means and what it
is useful for. Where is the "value"? In what?

Consistent means that things are not changing randomly, notifications are 
always displayed in the same way, for the same time 
rather than have a bubble displayed for 1 second, then the next one 15 seconds, 
then the next one 45 seconds just because the software writers don't agree on 
what to do

> Where is the value when lots of people complain about it?

Lot of people will complain anyway, what you call lot of is a matter of
perspective, it's some vocal users on a bug report, user testing are
being made as well and not only on technical communities and some users
see value in having a system not acting randomly (why was that bubble
displayed 3 seconds and now this one 8 seconds?)

Let's agree to disagree and stop abusing this bug report? Design
discussion should be moved to the lists where the people working on
notify-osd and doing the design will read it rather on a bug report
where you keep arguing with Ubuntu bug triagers who are neither deciding
on the design nor coding on notify-osd.

Not sure what DNS have to do with that discussion but DNS have nothing
to do with visual design

> Sure, but we are talking about notify-osd.

Right, so change Ubuntu by the notify-osd writers, why don't you accept
that whoever is writing code can take decisions on what the said code
behaviour should be? If you don't like it don't use it, nobody forces
you to use notify-osd or Ubuntu
