Shuttleworth announced version 18.04 LTS will move back to gnome as they're
ending development for Unity.  They'll also start using Weyland instead of
Mir, and phones and tablets will end too.  Here's an article for more info:

Time to celebrate or mourn, depending on your point of view.  Unity caused
a lot of people to leave Ubuntu, maybe using gnome will bring them back?
