Resurrecting this topic. Bitcoin Wallet moved to mBTC several weeks
ago, which was disappointing -- it sounded like the consensus was
uBTC, and moving to uBTC later --which will happen-- may result in
additional user confusion, thanks to yet another decimal place
transition.

I've kind of given up getting any consensus about this, or even getting people to care.

Everyone agrees that a decimal shift would be good, but it's the same boring shed painting discussion every time on how many decimals. In the end nothing happens.

I can't really blame Andreas for finally taking action and making the change to mBTC. People in the community are familiar with mBTC because some exchanges and price sites used mBTC (at least for a while when >$1000), also mBTC seems to be catching on on reddit etc.

Moving to muBTC (which in itself would be better because it is the final unit change ever needed without hardfork) would require more coordinated education effort.
