This is clearly not a long-term solution. At some point, not even security fixes will be available and then upgrading will be unavoidable. There are lots of reasons to want to upgrade before that point. > Second, it is > free software. Don't like what you see? Download the source, compile and be > happy. You can even run gnome 1 if you want, sources are around. Ubuntu is a product and this is a user, possibly even a paying customer for all you know. He is explaining why recent changes make him unhappy with the product. Ubuntu should listen to him. They don't have to agree with him or make any changes because of one user. The idea that rather than providing feedback, unhappy users should just go roll their own version benefits no one.
