Mark, given that never-hide is now the default and a user has to go out of their way to enable some form of autohide, haven't we already fixed the problem where people get confused about the hiding launcher? I think it might be overkill to also kill intellihide for the sake of "the average user" for which the problem has already been fixed by the new default! Not that I hold a grudge, but I think this is similar to the decision last release to add a System Settings link to the launcher which is too crowded by default on netbooks. In Natty, finding System Settings was a challenge, but in Oneiric there's half a dozen (or many more depending on how you count) ways to open up System Settings.
