You make excellent points.
1) Going forward I believe the Gnome guys see anything that's not
libinput as unsupported. So we could log an enhancement request to get
them to add Xorg synaptics support (ie. tweak the same things as
'synclient' does). But they're likely to ignore that request. Still, I
think if someone could implement it based on the synclient code, they
might accept a patch.
2) This is certainly a problem and what we should be fixing (although I
haven't tested upgrades myself to verify). Let's make this bug about the
upgrade problem.
Thanks for persisting and figuring it out.
