Were that the case, I don't think there would be nearly as much
complaining.  But they didn't just change it; they removed functionality
with no way to get it back.  They didn't design it so there are advanced
features that are turned off by default.  They simply removed the
advanced features.  And I won't stand for that.

Launching Gnome works for now, but how many releases are they going to
support that for?
