I dont think we want to overcomplicate the process but I understood that there 
was a contributor engagement meet-up in Paris last week and some of that may be 
relevant for this discussion.
For now I would really NI the UX team and product team for feedback - we should 
really not push this into 2.5 but post 2.5 definitely review and land in master 
before the next release.
