Mark Shuttleworth states:
"There are good reasons both for the change, and against them, and ultimately
the position will be decided based on what we want to achieve over time.
Moving everything to the left opens up the space on the right nicely, and I
would like to experiment in 10.10 with some innovative options there.
It's much easier to do that if we make this change now."

That suggests to me that further changes are envisioned which,
presumably, may make it impossible to revert the buttons to the right.
