C -> C.UTF-8 is a long standing request/bug, this way builders represent a more realistic environment and can handle test-suites that excercise unicode better (e.g. without tricks to generate locale data, or build depending on language packs) glibc move - that's part of regular toolchain/archive opening updates. These are typically set by toolchain hackers, of which adam is one, but i'm sure he consulted doko and kernel folks etc. systemd transition - this is inline with the systemd session we had at the UOS 14.06 http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1406/meeting/22277/ubuntu-server-plans-around-systemd/ > The release schedule for Vivid seems to be missing, anyone working on adding > it?
