employees are free to sign contracts of employment that specify disclosure about monitoring practices just as they are free to sign contracts of employment that specify disclosure about monitoring practices. Why does either party need the nanny state to step in?

Because without the state we end up with these choices.

Everyone else being RedHat. In the long run, Wayland may become what Canonical needed after all, and Canonical may be proven wrong, or Mir may turn out to be a great Idea. We will see. Today this is far from clear, and certainly they didn't needlessly create a competitor to a Wayland that everyone already uses.

They're making incredibly unpopular design changes without giving people any real option to do things their own way and driving their own userbase away. Unity and other ass backwardsness pissed me off SO MUCH that I learned to use Arch Linux just to get away from it.

You are free to hate Unity, but what's that "without giving people any real option"? You can always apt-get any DE or WM you like, or switch to any other distro while taking your data with you. Options galore.

1. That's a target date, not a commitment. If they miss it by two years, what is your recourse?

Your are changing the argument. In the post I replied to you had said, "no promise of a delivery date". The target date seems a promise of a delivery date: "expected delivery in May 2014". And what's your recourse? You could check with indiegogo.

2. Yeah, I could, couldn't I? But I only object to the commerical crowdsourced projects. If people want to ask for contributions to crowdsource something that's for the common good, I'll consider it. If they want to crowdsource a project for their own profit, where's my cut?

Your cut is to get something you want that otherwise may never see the light of day. It carries a risk like every investment.
