It doesn't seem like "so" upset to me. Expectations weren't met though.
Surely that's obvious.

Do you not agree that there was any fedora/egcs like approach _at all_,
or are you being willfully ignorant, or simply biased for some reason?

What's so difficult about understanding this "community" expectation?

As in: "hey guys, this is a new UI approach we are planning to take (in
fact launching and well into discussion), what do you think, is there a
better way, is anyone willing to put a big tla-librify effort in as we
go forward with this (since we don't otherwise have the resources), and
by the way, here's the wiki page to discuss the actual UI approach -
feedback is of course all the rage these days, I hear."

Can you see _any_ difference between this hypothetical announcement/
RFC, and the actual one by Canonical?
