Why would this be a problem? We're not changing the functionality; only the position of the button within the UI, to be more consistent with the device model we're following. > I'd like to see this UI change well before it is implemented.

It's important that the mesh be recognized as a capability of the laptop, and not as a physical device somewhere else in space. The fact that the mesh devices were even added to the Neighborhood view was a last minute hack, and we've been living with it (and confusing people with it) ever since. - Eben > I'm less concerned about 1 and 3 because they don't seem invasive from the > one line summary... if they get in this week as polish that would be ok.
