Hi all, A couple of weeks ago we landed what we refer to as the "split greeter". "Split greeter" was in effect removing or "splitting" out the greeter from the unity8 shell process and into it's own process. This feature is needed for disk encryption, as well as secure multi-user support.
After landing we've identified a handful of knock-on problems, mostly around synchronization, listed here https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter-session-broadcast/+bug/1328187 as well as a large increase in memory consumption. However based on some discussions across engineering teams & product management, its been resolved this isn't a requirement in the RTM time frame and we feel that its best to revert this feature in order to rethink the architecture in order to better address the issues we've revealed in our first attempt to deliver this feature, post RTM. I'll send another mail out when we've got the revert up in a silo for testing. br,kg
