Comment 20 for bug 414996

For the love of god, please fix this critical defect! There's been ample discussion in this thread on why this "feature" is very, very bad. Functionality that used to just "work" should not suddenly, arbitrarily, and *irrationally* change. I've been putting Ubuntu on flash drives for years. There's nothing more useful than keeping a full Lamp stack in your pocket. Besides, many new Ubuntu users will want to install to a USB to try it out or show their friends. It's a tremendously unwise business decision to make that process harder.
