While noble, and certainly a nice nod to our incredible community of contributors, I would like to present an alternative point of view. Sponsors' time is best spent sponsoring *bug fixes* after feature freeze. If these items are given priority, its likely a bug fix will be missed because of the same limitation preventing these feature requests from landing. Nobody is throwing them away. We're less than 2 months away from opening "R", and these features will just be some of the first to land in "R". -- Ubuntu-release mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
