Comment 2 for bug 930682

I'm not against switching to Mutter, specially for Elementary with it's focus on simplicity of design and comprehensibility of function.

I would like to point out that this "last news" is a hideous and vile rumour.

Compiz is still in active development.

The 0.9.x series is a bit of a mess, since the hiring of Sam Spilsbury by Canonical and the summary execution of Compiz Web, but development continues in bzr.

The last few weeks have seen some serious progress in bringing patches together and fixing some bugs.

Compiz is absolutely not dead, although it may never be what the 0.8.x branch dreamed of being.

Canonical seems to be interested in a stripped-down 2.5D version of Compiz.

It may be a good time to fork 0.8.x, fix it's bugs, and make somthing that could integrate well with Elementary and other desktops.
