[Bug 390508] Re: notifyOSD ignores the expire timeout parameter

 

The design decision to remove support for the options are undermining the effort by developers who put it there and the whole (IMHO correct) thought process behind their work.
The incorrect design decision is taking away my *freedom* to use these options as i see fit.
Do you really want to take away my freedom? Is this what ubuntu is all about?
