Though I think Unity still needs a -lot- of work, I find it much more usable in Oneiric than it was in Natty. I used it for several months before switching to Gnome 3 in Oneiric, whereas I couldn't stand it for a day in Natty. (Keep up the good work.) I can't speak to whether there have been reg

Sorry for the stupid question: Are you really plan to release ubuntu 12.04 without gnome 3.4 in the official repository? I mean, I can understand you prefere unity as default, but IMAO ubuntu should provide the latest gnome, like it provides the latest kernel released in the developing process
