And that's *so* much worse than a dictatorship where a few developers on
a personal crusade ignore the wishes of 95% of their user base.

You're absolutely right; it's Canonical's project, Canonical's time,
Canonical's money.  They can do whatever they want with it.  But
presumably, they want people to use it.  And if that's the case, they
better get a clue real frickin' quick.  As far as I'm concerned, unless
this change is rolled back before final, the project is dead; I cannot
and will not recommend it to anyone.  And that's a shame, because I was
very much looking forward to doing so.
