I agree the nautilus stuff is a matter of the TB, but
there's something more here.

from http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/processes/governance

"It is understood that the divisive use of the SABDFL's
authority could weaken the project. For that reason the
authority is used carefully, in the hope that it will create
momentum in the best direction for the project, breaking
stalemates where otherwise competing views would fail to
reach consensus."

AFAIK, there has been no previous discussion about this
topic. I guess because of that there's a lot of anger from
contributors and users.

I totally agree with the figure of a sabdfl in the Ubuntu
community, but only if the cited text is actually true. In
this case, the "sabdfl word" has not been the end of a three
week flame-war. 

I don't want to write more, because I think almost everything has been
written. I've read a *lot* of opinions defending the old behaviour, at
least in this release, all based on terms of usability, consistency,
compatibility,...; but only a couple of agreements.

Happy hacking,
    Koke.
