John,
I've noticed you tagging lots of tickets over the last few days for
consideration as 8.2.0 blockers. Some of your selections make good sense
to me, like the GPL tickets (#4265), but others make less sense to me,
like the debuginfo packages issue (#4264), the TurtleArt naming issue
(#5941),
Here's the relevant part:
File /usr/share/sugar/services/shell/activityregistryservice.py, line
90, in FindActivity
if name.find(key) != -1 or bundle_id.find(key) != -1:

Dear world,
I received some fantastic criticism yesterday from a security researcher
named Steven Murdoch on what a crappy job I've been doing of providing
outside security folks with the knowledge necessary to work alongside
me.
To begin to remedy this lack, I put together two wiki pages:
Charlie tested some Joyrides today but they suffered from a nasty bug
(which was promptly fixed) that would have made them less than suitable
for further testing. We'll try again tomorrow morning.

8.1.2 may be used for the next G1G1 factory image but that's not final
yet either.
#6532 is a blocking bug against the next G1G1 release which is not fixed
