bealer, opensource based doesn't mean you can't take design decisions or
choices, we could try to fix every applications and blame random
softwares installed from the internet for making ubuntu bug or we can
enforce some design choices we believe benefit our users and
communication to software writers on our design choice and how to well
integrate with our system, it's what other very people device makers do
for their system as well and users don't complain so much about the
limitations since in the end it leads to things working nicely together
in a consistent way

> because people have tried to open up other avenues to talk about this
and they've been shut down or cut off. This is the only place we can
voice our opinion.

did any of you trying the ayatana list as suggested several times now?
could you point where you got turned down from posting on it?


The vast majority of people out there don't care about notifications, they 
don't care about softwares, they don't care about configurations or computer, 
they want to go on the internet, chat with their friends, etc. They want a 
system fast, easy to use and visual appeleant. They don't want to understand 
why some of the messages coming are different or to configure every softwares 
to behave different, that should just be working on be out of their way. Some 
of design decision taken in that project and others the dx team is working on 
will limit flexibility and enforce a consistent and easy to understand 
interaction. That will limit possibilities for softwares to do weird things and 
make the system feel buggy, that will simplify code, that will simplify 
interfaces and that will benefits users in the end. Now some people are very 
much wanting to have full flexibility and use it, the softwares you used to run 
are still there and you can still install those if you want, why is that so 
much of an issue?
