Ah, it's the *users'* own fault, for not spending enough time reading
the GNOME 3 mailing lists.  How stupid of them.

  "People of Earth, your attention, please. This is Prostetnic Vogon
  Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. As you will no
  doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of
  the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route
  through your star system. And regrettably, your planet is one of
  those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less
  than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.

  "There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning
  charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local
  planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so
  you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far
  too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean
  you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind,
  it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you
  can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your
  own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.

  "I don't know, apathetic bloody planet, I've no sympathy at all."

Andrew.
