Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu 12.10 very broken... why did they release?

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

I find nothing disrespectful in this subject line.  It certainly does
not compare to the blistering and often profane comments that heralded
Ubuntu's switch to Unity on many of the forums I visited.  The man is
obviously having a frustrating time of it with a distribution that
suffered a setback in its a11y setup due to the discontinuation of
development of unity 2d.  Let's try to be helpful to those who need it
and stay off the soapboxes, shall we?
