Absolutely, this is something we can and should fix in Maverick. We plan
to be selling one or two bits of commercial software in 10.10, and for
well-known legal reasons, DVD playback is likely to be one of those.

Perhaps you'd like to start a wiki page about this (linked from
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareHandling>), with a storyboard
<http://boxesandarrows.com/view/comics-not-just-for> or text description
of what you think should happen? The starting point would be something
like "Lauren inserts a DVD for the first time"
<http://twitter.com/LaurenVanB/status/13624104456>, and the end point
would be "the DVD starts playing".
