They already did. With or without Mir support, The GNOME stack and
Compiz are clearly second class citizens in Ubuntu now. For evidence,
look no further than the schedule of the last UDSes and pretty much
*all* communication from Canonical employees ever since Ubuntu Touch
was announced.

And just to be clear, because people got confused about this the
last time I brought it up: I DO NOT MEAN THIS AS CRITICISM AGAINST
CANONICAL, NOR I AM IMPLYING ANY SORT OF MALICE OR HOSTILITY FROM
THEIR SIDE. *No* distro can devote the same amount of attention to
all apps. KDE apps have always been second class citizens in Ubuntu,
and that is perfectly fine.
