Comment 32 for bug 879218

Yes, there should be some "Open source innovation preservation project"
that protects cool features people liked from being completely removed from
the OS. There are many nice features that get removed "temporarily" in some
new version, when some new technology is adopted, but then the developers
forget about them and never bring them back, such as:

- these multilevel edge window dockings
- the world map depicting the movement of sunlight that used to be located
under the calendar when you clicked the time indicator
- the option to autohide the launcher only when a window is maximized or
covers it
- tabs and panes in Nautilus that we might lose in the future, to name
something more recent

I mean, for many of us, some of these features were among the reasons why
we switched to Ubuntu in the first place. Don't take them away from us and
don't take the credit away from the developers who put time and effort in
building them. Leave them at least as options. I know that the code gets
more complex that way, but some of these features were rock-solid and by
using good software design patterns, they could be kept under control.
