Lubuntu, Mir, XMir, and X

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi, pcman,

I do believe this was a rumour that just went viral... Julien stated the
case as to what lubuntu will do.

As far as I'm concerned? any thing else posted up against it will be
complained about :) The media team will be looking out for repeats and have
them corrected. These things do happen. I've made my thoughts known to what
may be the source... let us not fight amongst our selves.

For one instance, your time spent on having to reply to this would have
been time to work on pcmanfm. I'd rather you use your precious time on that.

Regards.

Phill.
