Yeah, going to add that I think the ones who want to vote for this fix
(note; in any form, it doesn't matter) mostly doesn't know the vote
exists in the first place.

..and the ones voting against it are totally clueless wrt. the "real
world". Yeah, there; I said it: you people (voting against), whoever
you are, are wrong, and I/we are right! x)

See; Ubuntu is marketed as a "Desktop OS"(
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 ) and a "Desktop OS" doesn't
_instantly kill all the friggin applications_ when one press a wrong
key-combo. It's really as simple as that; there is absolutely no ..
discussion, or vote .. needed .. with regards to that.

So where does one vote for this stuff anyway? Who gets to vote? ..
What type of people know about this vote in the first place; and what
is their percentage compared to the ones who get hit most often by
this?

..anyway, I'll stop ranting. Who knows; I might get kicked/banned from
this CoC tainted web-site thingy also for having a shockingly honest
opinion. haha x)
