I don't know what's the percentage of users who always
use latest SVN trunk, but never mind. It's your call
how you investigate the bugs/features. To me, this
basically means "never file a bug report" :). As a
well-behaved user, I will never do.

But after all, we don't know for sure that it's
Xubuntu, right? 

Anyway, as I said, what to take into consideration
during development is completely you call and I
respect that. Unfortunately there is no way around,
you'll hear from time to time such things, just as we
have to live with your design decisions even when we
liked it otherwise :).

But overall, it's really a good and balanced desktop
compared to its alternatives. Congratulations for your
successful efforts!

Whatever you decide on, it's your baby after all!
