Hello Magnes, thank you for your suggestion about wanting to move the
Launcher away from the left-hand side and attach it to other edges of
the screen.

Because of the integration between the Top Bar, the BFB (Big Friendly
Button), the Dash and Launcher this would require significant design
work to work through all of the corner-cases, and if implemented would
end up in less commonly-tested code paths (which are in-turn prone to
bit-rotting and maintainability problems).

At the moment it's important that Unity get stabilisation work during
the next cycle (Ubuntu 11.10), and making the main design and code-path
solid is the priority.  The design team doesn't have time to work on
this because it isn't a priority and will detract from time available
for other, more critical, work.

I think that patches (along with debugged design rationale) would be
entertained, but they need to come equipped with sufficient unit tests
to ensure that the less commonly-used code-paths are not likely to cause
problems later.

** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Won't Fix
