Dash is part of the recency stack on purpose. By allowing it to have any
position in the stack allows us to maintain pure recency in the stack no
matter what you've had focused before. More importantly this
organisation allows users to switch between the dash and any other item
via short right edge swipe.

When it comes to closing dash from the stack there is already different
behaviour for it than all the other items when dragging the surface. The
dash resist the movement to indicate that it can't be swiped away. I
totally agree that currently it's quite hard to identify dash item from
the stack and we're planning on improving that by adding icons in to the
stack surfaces. This way it should be much easier to find the dash from
the stack and understand that it can't be closed.

Title:
  [dash] Make the dash a very first window on the left when multitasking

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently the dash can end up anywhere in the stack and you sometimes thinking "Why I can't swipe this thing away? Oh, right, that's the dash."
  Also I noticed when I try to swipe away the most left window I often bring up the dash panel accidentally. I reckon positioning the main window there would reduce those accidents.
