It's time to jettison CCSM

With tools like MyUnity now in universe, and didrocks putting basic configuration in the control panel I'd like to propose the removal of compizconfig-settingsmanager. I don't mean "stop telling people to use it" or "add a warning", I mean total removal from the archive until the tool is either better tested or doesn't break people's configuration. Here are some of the problems with the tool. - It's possible to accidentally uncheck the Unity plugin, breaking the user's desktop. - It has a load of checkboxes for plugins that we don't support, allowing infinite combinations of untested options, which result in either a broken desktop or a misconfigured one. - People report these bugs, and instead of fixing real bugs we have to deal with corner case bugs for things we never plan on supporting. - Since it's settings are separate from Unity a "unity --reset" doesn't fix it, you have to blow away .compiz or some other dotfile directories to get a desktop back. - Alex Chiang has documented some of the issues he's run into here: http://askubuntu.com/a/80590/235 - I'm sure at UDS you've seen didrocks show you one of the ways it breaks even when using parts of it that shouldn't break. MyUnity is a better user-facing tool anyway for those that want to play, it would be a shame to have the ccsm tool ship in an LTS. If anyone cares about it they can plop it in a PPA.
