Good point. Consider it done.

I don't think upstream developers (I'm just the packager, not part of
the development team) discussed it with Unity team. Anyway, I'm not
sure I agree with you on this being a reason not to accept MyUnity.
Archive is plenty of programs who change other programs' configuration
via gconf/gsettings/something_else. E.g.: were gnome-tweak-tools
developers asked to get in touch with GNOME before accepting gtt?
Further, just to stay around gtt: many of the settings gtt modifies
are modifiable through other tools, and despite that gtt is still in
the archive. What do you think about that?
