There seems to be a 50/50 tide up about Unity and Classic. ¿Wouldn't it be possible split the issues among both? Let's say, april releases with classic menu and october releases with unity? Otherwise, Ubuntu is going to loose half of it's users.(I among them). Carlos Havel--

Putting different desktop environments in different releases is really a good idea, but we can do a lot better than that. These two DEs are just some packages, and obviously we can support them both. We can have different editions sharing most applications, one with unity, the other one with
