Stallman is right about this in my opinion. I think if the feature isn't either opt-in, or removed, in 13.04 then Ubuntu is going to lose a great deal of credibility, especially amongst its long time supporters. With 12.10 they can claim that it's something experimental rushed in at the last moment which needs refinement. Both Mark Shuttleworth's and Jono Bacon's blog responses to this issue have been below the standard that I would have expected. Shuttleworth made a silly comment about Canonical having root on Ubuntu machines already and Jono described the Stallman's comments as "childish".
