After further discussion (with Stéphane Graber and Didier Roche) we'll
tackle this *very early* in the R release. It's too late in the quantal
release cycle to enable such a polarizing "new feature"
(https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-July/035490.html),
especially one that needs further discussion and work on the design and
technical side to really be efficient when enabled for a majority of our
users.
There has been a lot of really useful feedback on the thread, with quite
a few things that will have to be investigated; such as how to indicate
and/or prompt users to open a browser and handle authentication on
captive portals, checking intervals, checking methods and on-demand
checking.
We'll schedule a UDS discussion specifically on that subject and enable
the feature as-is as soon as R is opened so that work can start and bugs
can be opened for any things we may have overlooked.
