@magnesus2; this change would cost the same number of hours to make,
irrespective of when it is made.  If a moveable Launcher had been
designed and built right at the  start of Unity development, a bunch of
other  features and fixes that are currently in Unity would have had to
be dropped.  We are following a MVP strategy of first building out all
the areas of required functionality as quickly as possible, and then
going back and adding depth.  This is the correct path to take, a OS
with a over engineered Launcher and under-engineered everything else is
not very useful.  We need to balance the depth of functionality across
all areas of the OS, not over resource one area, and as a result under
resource other areas.

@dabisu; no, it is not reasonable to ask for the months of design work,
testing, meetings, etc to be summarized for your convenience.  The time
it would take to do this is much better spent on designing new features,
refining already delivered functionality, and supporting developers who
are in the middle of building out 12.04, etc...  If you come to UDS I
will happily spend a lunchtime talking to you about Launcher
positioning, and even then there would not be time the discuss the
entire picture.  But the offer is open, come to UDS and we will talk
about it over lunch.
