The important thing is that this removal can create problems for new

problems with the file system.
It occurs to me... has anyone considered that we are teaching users that
GNU/Linux is just as bad as Windows with this change?
It used to be: no, no, this is *GNU/Linux*! An X crash isn't the total
system failure it is in Windows, just hit c-a-bs and you're instantly
back at your login.
Now we're making X problems into: yeah, you have to reboot, wait for the
system to come back... oh, and wait for it to run scandi^Wfsck (and
better pray the FS didn't get hosed)...
So much for GNU/Linux being better than Windows.
