I think it's okay too.

I don't really understand this bit. Are you saying that we should *not*
change this for Yakkety for Ubuntu Desktop?

What I propose to do (now or next cycle, as decided) is make .pyc
stripping opt-in.

If this cycle, then opt every flavour except Ubuntu Desktop and the ones
already excluded in and mail announcing the change to give flavours a
chance to switch too.

At the start of next cycle, opt every flavour out and give the chance to
opt opt back in. If there are no takers, then we can delete the code
altogether.

Cheers,
