Ubuntu 11.10 makes Unity compulsory

[Michael Haney]

You know its funny, before we went off on a debate about Israel we
were all complaining how bad Unity was going to be.  But, 11.04 hasn't
even been released yet and who knows what changes will occur between
now and then.  I'm certain Canonical won't allow a blatantly defective
UI loose on the community.  They've got to be way smarter than that.
In the Linux world, just like the gaming world, you fuck up and people
will go elsewhere and it will be a bitch to get people to come back.
Also, Unity is a new DE, so there are bound to be issues and Canonical
can't find them all on their own, so the community is going to have to
help them find those issues as they use 11.04 so that 11.10 can be a
better release.

I do agree that Unity shouldn't be compulsory though, and Canonical
should have the classic Gnome 2 desktop pre-installed for those who
want to switch.  Perhaps they should give users an incentive of some
kind for using Unity and reporting any bugs that need to be ironed
out.  I don't know what that incentive could be, but it would get more
people to want to use Unity and help make Ubuntu a better distro.
