> You do realize that no version of Ubuntu was ever released with that feature?

Not sure that is true - I seem to remember that it was enabled by default in a couple of releases (I think somewhere around 12.04?).

I raised this issue early in the Lens development phase. The response from the mailing list was (paraphrasing) "well, people can always uninstall the package if they don't want the feature" (at which point I then opted out entirely).

Opt-in came much, _much_ later.
