There is a very important point not listed: users are not aware of the rationale behind the changes. I've seen a lot of users post messages in the forum assuming it's a bug (not even a design decision they don't agree with, a BUG, really). When being shown Mark's message the summarizes the rationale, some people still want the old behavior back, but a lot of them go "oh... that makes sense." I think it's important to remember that "Well, weren't you following the Ayatana mailing list and the Ayatana projects' wikis?" it's not a very reasonable thing to say to the average user. The same goes for the indicator-applet, by the way. I've seen lots of users in the forum saying "I removed the annoying envelope thing. I don't use LAUNCHERS in the panel."
