No, we ship GOA by default, however we do have users that use UOA as well (its just not installed by default). there are definitely a sub-set of apps that only work with UOA, sometimes this is due to Ubuntu patches , in other cases its just lack of upstream support for those apps. > > I would prefer if the Ubuntu GNOME session were as close as possible to > upstream, meaning that it would be fine for me if UOA was not appearing > in the GNOME control center.

We've made a lot of changes appropriate for Ubuntu and Unity (61 patches) which makes it hard to maintain and creates a conflict for Ubuntu GNOME to use the control center. Unity 7 will be replaced by Unity 8 in the future which has a new settings interface. So we can continue to remain on the current version of GNOME Control Center but allow Ubuntu GNOME to continue to update we will create a new project lp:unity-control-center which is a copy of GNOME Control Center 3.6 but with appropriate renaming so both can be installed. A number of packages that refer to gnome-control-center need to be updated to refer to unity-control-center (see bug tasks).
