I appreciate your work, Sam.

But I think there's a separate lesson to be learned here: When such a
major overhaul as was done to compiz is undertaken, making it impossible
for users to use the previous version (as was the case here, where natty
users *could not* go back to 0.8.6, until Guiodic made his wonderful
PPA) is just bad practice.

There are numerous other problems with the current version of compiz,
numerous other reasons to want to stay at 0.8.6 for now (for example,
the newer version crashes every window decorator except the unity-
window-decorator, such as emerald, etc.) -- this is not a knock on
compiz or its developers, of course; no software is free of bugs, and
early in the lifecycle of every new major overhaul, there will be its
share of problems. Not only that, but I imagine some of the
compatibility issues (e.g. emerald) are just as likely to be bugs in the
interfacing modules, rather than bugs in compiz. But the fact that
someone had to hack a solution to enable users to downgrade is just poor
usability.
