But I'm confused now!

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/11/ubuntu_1310_to_ship_... said the following three months ago:

> Shuttleworth said he has been running Mir on his own laptop, an "all-Intel" Dell XPS, for two weeks, and that barring a few minor glitches, the system feels smoother than it did before.

Surely it must have been ready to ship in a major release of the most popular Linux distribution given that!

There were only minor glitches and it's run a whole two weeks on the damn founder's personal laptop! How could it have been declared not ready to ship three months, such a vast period of time, later!

Please grow up, Canonical. Also, Wayland.



The main problem area blocking the release is multi-monitor support. A regression there means it will break for some users, even though those who don't use this feature might have a huge improvement (such as mark did).
