They know my stance on this one. Upstream libnotify and notification-daemon
will always support actions. These are too useful and too many people want
them. So at that point, it's really up to the developers to choose what they
want, and whether they want to accept patches to get rid of actions or not.
And it's up to Canonical to decide if they want to maintain a patchset for
all apps to strip actions, or reverse their policy on that.

I'll fight any change to remove action support from the spec to the death :)
