I would be reluctant to approve a blanket FFe for this purpose, even for
a non-LTS. We had some bad experiences in the past with blanket FFe's.
What I would be willing to consider is a wider-range FFe for a selected
set of features (which should be more or less similar). Would that be
good enough?

If yes, we would need this bug to be updated with the list and details of the 
features (those that are breaking FF) that are planned to still land before 
release. Build logs are currently not required of course (since the features 
are probably still in the works), but an explanation for each of what packages 
will be updated, a quick look at potential regressions that *in theory* could 
get introduced by each and maybe a quick overview of the current progress. All 
this doesn't have to be too detailed.
This way the release team will know that there is a well defined plan of attack 
and what are the risks of all this not getting ready in time.

Also, do I understand correctly that these are *needed* for Lubuntu to
actually be in releasable-state?
