I would cite the thread in question. But it appears to have been deleted. Which, I am bound to say, I am not particularly happy about.

I know which topic you mean -- it's still there:

18.04 Bionic - Changes to default layout

I know it’s early in development, but April isn’t that far off. Just thought I’d take another peek and see where UM is headed, a fresh install shows the “Traditional” layout now uses the Brisk Menu along with Places and System, and it seems Breeze is the default cursor theme. I always understood Ubuntu MATE along with Solus to be leading the way in terms of innovation, and though it doesn’t suit me personally as a MATE enthusiast to see overwhelming changes, after all that’s why MATE was forked…

What happened there was during 18.04's early development. The Traditional layout was modified, which fuelled the debate.

This final solution of having a separate Familiar layout makes much more sense.
