After a recent review we have come to the conclusion that this feature is not at a stage that we'd like to see in Ubuntu and thus we are not pursuing to push this feature into Ubuntu 13.04.
Instead, we will be landing it in 13.10 once the current issues are resolved. Ubuntu Users will be able to still use the feature by installing it from a Ubuntu R based PPA which will be rebased with any relevant R update. We will update this bug once the relevant details are documented. In the course of the next couple of days we will also clean up this bug report with the necessary actions for R &S.

The rest of Unity (Launcher, Indicators, HUD, etc) will not be affected. For reference, the new "smart scope service" and corresponding Unity changes was discussed here: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/01/30/smart- scopes/ The spec for the "smart scope service" is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartScopes1304Spec The goal is to have everything ready by April 1st. Until then, a ppa will be updated everyday for testing the feature by a group of 5 people (the ppa will be: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-unity/+archive /experimental-certified). Existing tests will be run as per of the daily release process. That + the manual testing, we'll have a good pick on the quality status before flipping the switch. All packages will be prereviewed for NEWing and MIRing.
