My thoughts. Pros:
- Would imply a level of customization rarely present in other mobile OSes - Could be used as a framework for allowing other forms of customization in the Settings app - Allows a person to use it how they feel is most comfortable - Probably good for community health as a whole - App switching metaphor would be improved, as "back" is generally considered to the left for many people, so going back from the left side makes perfect sense. Cons: - Would make one Ubuntu phone inconsistent from the next (when borrowing friends' phones for whatever reason) - Diverting development resources from higher priority issues could have a negative impact on the release schedule. - Could create issues in the future, as any increase in functionality has a resulting burden in maintenance. Obviously I'm in favor of this option being available to users, I just don't want it done under the pretense that the current design is ineffective for left handed users, when there seems to be little evidence of this.
