let be constructive rather to rant, the change has been discussed during
the uds and planned for this cycle, it has been late right but everybody
is overworked.

would you argue that the tools was working? you can't share anonymously
using it and you need to use the command line to set a password to do a
normal share. what do you think the normal user reaction to this is? we
got many bugs asking why we ship something which doesn't work, because
they share things over smb but nobody can use those.

about how it'll be installed, ubuntu-desktop recommends it which means
all the new installation and upgrades using a tool installing recommends
will get it installed

nfs is not something which we consider has a real user demand in a
desktop distribution, it might be useful for some users but doesn't
request justify installing this one

about xubuntu nobody from their team complained yet and the change has
been discussed at uds. if they need it we can add a binary they can
install, but there has a been no demand for that yet, and installing
something which doesn't work is rather a disfavor to users

now could you explain for what users you need this tool is working?
because in all those complains there is no real constructive comment
describing the needs for something which can't be used. did you read all
the bugs about why a tool which is not working is installed? do you
really think that it would be better to use this one rather than
nautilus-share?
