All the code was merged in these revisions, so obviously either it is a case they did not think about when designing (what I called design flaw earlier) OR somebody lost a post-it on the taskboard

The froze the Mir trunk some time before Ubuntu 13.10 was released to not introduce new major regressions. This one here is one of the many commits they have done in a seperate development branch that is now merged into Mir trunk now that Ubuntu 13.10 is released.
Also, this is exactly the kind of news that should be on Phoronix. Lol @ "Michael is a Mir hater" & "Michael is getting paid by Canonical".

Mir is Ubuntu only, it does not affect any other distro so why try and make it seem like a good thing? Its getting annoying to be honest...
While I personally would much rather have wayland be the universal replacement to X, I feel as though only 1 display server will end up on top and leaving the other in the dust, and unfortunately I think that's going to be mir. One problem is Intel is pretty much the only major company (that I'm aware of) developing for wayland, but they're only doing it for their own gain and otherwise they don't seem to touch it that much. The other problem is too much development for Wayland has been spent on gimmicky features, meaning not enough time was spent on making it do everything X can do (in other words, making it a viable replacement).
For political reasons, I want Mir to fail. Otherwise, I think Canonical is doing a fantastic job in the amount of time they've been working on Mir.

Its interesting : from one side, every linux fanboy wants linux to be open source, free, and have many choises, but from another side, those stupid monkeys wants linux to be like mac os - to not have any choises, mir is evil, and another stupid things. So, you want to have a choise, but you dont wanna let people to develop something better, you are forcing everyone to use some shitty wayland with xfce/gnome or other kind of narcotics, want a bunch of stupid monkeys some of you are ....
