Have Canonical ever made public a road map, a plan? Any kind of direction 
whatsoever? All through this we've been in the dark. This project was 
abandoned long before this information slipped out. 

 I'm still waiting for the features that were demoed in the walkthrough 
video that turned out to be a mock-up. Two years on and I still have no 
idea whether they were even on the roadmap.
