err... i didnt mean to shout anyone down...    :( 

But rather wanted to say, the product is still in development cycle.
When a product is in *development cycle* it is reasonable to find
several changes in the apps almost every day.

We cant keep constantly banding the doors for an answer which might
change at anytime during testing!

Rather we need to offer solutions about what seems wrong.

Its just we are not used to such changes in specs , since only recently
has Ubuntu been doing upstream development.

take for example: gnome3 had changes in several aspects and even now we
dont know what it is going to end up as...

Well,these were just my impressions from all the work going on, i maybe
wrong. But none is to shout anyone down :)

I agree . The questions raised are valid,*to devs* who want to keep up. 

But in no way at all do the arguments bare any weight on having the
feature implemented or not. Regarding the design of the product this is
not a valid argument. I was commenting only on that. ;)
