--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <pointedstick at zoho.com> ---
In https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99000 you said the following on
subject of an exposed acceleration setting:

"well, basically: if we don't need it, we don't need to add it. options that
aren't actually used are a real drag on maintenance, especially options that
are generic enough that users may use them for unrelated things (see the xkcd
workflow comic)."

I think the quantity of acceleration complaints reveals a genuine need. You
said the following in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98535:

"Reopening, because we still get complaints"

Again, it seems unlikely to me that a single default value will ever be
sufficient to meet the needs of the *NIX community, which is diverse in both
attitudes and hardware. Apple gets away with it not only because their default
value truly is "good enough", but also because they have total control over the
touchpad hardware and can ensure that their default value behaves as expected
100% of the time. We don't have that luxury.
