I agree. This was a change that could and should have been immediately
recognised as obviously controversial and warranting discussion in the
Ubuntu community before it was implemented.
Ubuntu is still (at least as far as I'm concerned) based on community
consensus and transparent development for changes like this one. I
suggest that the change be reversed and if some people wish to push
it, they post their rationale for this change to the ubuntu-desktop
mailing list for discussion.
