I can understand the argument, but actually I do not think it is that confusing. In the real world and on the computer there are always more than one way to do things. The question is what is more confusing: Having the possibility to do a thing in another way or not being able to do a thing because you can not find it or at least having a hard time? I know a lot of things I can do with Ubuntu where there are dozens of ways to do it - that does not confuse me. Confusion comes if people do not know what to do. I think people make some tasks a habbit and then stick to it. So I guess many users did not even yet find the FUSA.

I think the current situation is a bit unfortunate. 9.04 is on the doorsteps and the decision was made. Even of the decision was wrong it is better to stick with it now. But maybe it is possible to get some more user feedback on major interface changes. And please include feedback of impaired users. If somebody who is perfectly healthy and fully functional and smart likes a new solution that makes a new solution only usable for such users - unless such features are approved by those who already have more problems with computers (which are also kids and or seniors).

Maybe the FUSA features can be tweaked, so that it wont be impossible for some to use Ubuntu any more (which I fear will be the case).
