Awesome to see our response followed with such attention, not to mention feedback with concrete promises about what (and what not) to expect dealt with.
Good job, Canonical! Happy to be a user!
(And good job finally ditching Mir. You could have kept Unity for all I care. Linux can handle a few dozen DEs. But having more than one display server, now that was just nuts.)
Edit: while the feedback post here may have been the most discussed post on HN ever, the announcement of dropping Mir clearly made rumbles too, with a record 10,000+ upvotes in a "niche" subreddit like /r/linux. When a player like Ubuntu does the right thing, people clearly care.
