Isnt THIS the merge?

If not what are you talking about when you talk of the merge?

Do you mean the day the announcement was made?  Or the day
the plugins were released?

Am I the only person who is slightly confused by all the misnaming
that goes on around here?

The process of merging is happening at the moment (hopefully) its
not a single point in time.  Like I said, its likely to be a very long time.
Much longer than the original week estimate I heard anyway.

I seem to remember suggesting that before the 'merge' but everyone
just said, I dont care about compiz, beryl works well for me.

In fact I have been asking for these features for ages, the best I got
was cube zoom on rotate.  I think its a bit of a poor show if thats the
only must have feature from beryl.
