I agree with Shuhao. Of course the Ubuntu developers would like as many XMir testers as possible, but I would hate to see the Xubuntu dev team become overburdened by fundamental experimental technology like this.
In my opinion, Xubuntu should focus on well-tested, proven technology, sometimes slightly at the expense of fundamental innovations. We can wait until those innovations are matured....
