11.0411.10gnomeunity

Will the Unity interface be only be default for the 11.04 or until GNOME Shell is released? Or alternatively will Unity continue to be developed after GNOME Shell is ready.

Simply: will 11.04 be a one-off release in having the Unity interface as default.

Best Answer

Nobody knows for sure, but it seems highly likely. From what Mark Shuttleworth (founder of Ubuntu) said today it sounds like there is a push for polish towards the next LTS release. Based on that it seems highly likely Unity will be kept as the default interface until at least 12.04
