What more might we do to influence the decision? A *lot* of people
have thrown their opinions on the table, but I still feel very
strongly that the splash and login screen will cause massive damage to
Ubuntu's adoption prospects while not really gaining much. Is it just
a matter of crossing my fingers and hoping the developers decide to go
with something that won't cause so many problems?
