FYI, the Ubuntu Technical Board voted recently to pass on desktop effects, be 
it beryl or compiz, for feisty, deferring them to feisty+1 [1]. As you can 
see from Matt Zimmerman's announcement, it was because the board felt the 
software was not yet mature enough for default inclusion in the stable 
distro.
