If developers of a new technology are not motivated enough to make it usable (not "testable") why should one bother including it in a mainstream user-oriented distribution? That said, I still don't understand why removing a functionality that does not harm anybody and that is really useful in some circumstances. I see this discussion will be pointless, though. However, I am also sure that MOST people I know will tell me that ubuntu is a dictatorship after discovering that they can't tell "hit CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE" on the phone to their unexperienced friends. I typically am the guy that persuades friends using linux that the new *DEFAULT* choices ubuntu makes in every release are good even though they look like evil. But this time I don't really have a justification.
