Canonical To Ship Mir Display Server In Ubuntu 13.10

An anonymous reader writes "Canonical has announced today that they intend to ship the Mir Display Server by default in Ubuntu 13.10, rather than Ubuntu 14.04 as originally planned. They moved ahead their Mir adoption since the code is materializing and they want Mir/XMir widely tested prior to the Ubuntu 14.04 Long-Term Support release. Mir in Ubuntu 13.10 will be using the XMir X11 compatibility layer to run the Unity 7 desktop and there will be fallback support for running an X.Org Server if the graphics drivers don't support Mir."

Pretty much. It's a political thing: They need to get it out before people go from "angryturfing" to "calm down to rational logic and realize this is just stupid." Kind of like how you have to shove your cock down a woman's throat while she's still crying, instead of giving her time to realize she can just bite your dick off. Canonical is raping the userbase.
