    All of the lifespan of Ubuntu's Unity.
    Mark announces Unity will be abandoned, Mark Announces he is taking over for Jane.

    Coincidence? I'm just curious.

          I think not. There is no coincidence in an enterprise. Maybe we can consider Jane has failed in its role, and that's why Mark recover the leadership.

            Or they're just reducing overhead [read: excess employees ], and using Mark as CEO reduces a position.

              Mark has always been the boss, this is just a figurehead change meant to show there is something "changing".

                The girl said she will still be in board of directors, so it's a nope.

                As a general rule of thumb, managment is the last kind of emplyee to be fired, well after engineers.

                    Could you please also get rid of Gnome 3 then? Either go for Mate, XFCE or Cinnamon. (;
