Hehe, users' fate is not in our hands. An example at my work proves it:
Average "would be 31337 H at xx0r" employee discovers loss of ethernet 
connection on his winblows machine.

He rumbles the PC cables for some seconds to no avail and then heads to 
the company's rack. He starts pulling out all ethernet cables from the 
switch, in a vain attempt to locate and correct his network problem. 
Seconds later, company's employees emerge from their offices, yelling 
and running down the hallways complaining of unsaved data /frozen pc's / 
lost internet - you get the idea. 5 minutes later I receive a service call.

So I say leave it as it is, Gnome people. Let them pay us more of their 
precious juice.
