You sent the email in a very bad time, some people were (and still are) in holidays and for some people keeping up to date in reading email while DebConf is challenging :) Answering an email 3 weeks later is not late, sometimes you are busy in a given time and answering in a hurry is never a good idea. > > About the change, I think caring about the status in Ubuntu should be > > something you choose and not something that is thrown at you by default > > whether you want it or not.

I don't think we should do a poll to decide this, we should discuss and allow people to give arguments why they like the idea or not. You need to give more than 2 days for that. And please, do not say people has not complained in 3 weeks since you made the change as an excuse, nobody complained neither about this not being enabled by default in all the many months that information was there. I remember people complained about the ubuntu column when it was enabled firstly and the agreed solution there was turning it off by default.
