"But the only way to avoid this one major failure mode is for Shuttleworth to ignore, as politely as possible, the complaints of his users." The problem is Shuttlworth can't keep his mouth shut. Personal attacks only make the situation worse. He should take a page from Apple here - "keep your mouth shut" - and produce.

So the solution to "you're ignoring the community" is to ignore the community? That strikes me as an odd suggestion. And if you can show me a single personal attack from Shuttleworth here, I'd be very interested. I don't always agree with him but in my experience he's always been extremely professional. Claiming anything else is incredibly unfair and mean-spirited. For the lazy, every comment on the linked bug by him (with an aside that 9 comments on this bug hardly seems to be ignoring the complaint): https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/9 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/9 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/19 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/19 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/20 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/20 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/25 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/25 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/26 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/26 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/27 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/27 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/29 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/29 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/37 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/37 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/38 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/882274/comments/38
