Fwd: update on ARB exception for /opt installation

[Allison Randal]

We should be able to use #ubuntu-meeting, at least, I picked a time that 
wasn't scheduled on the Ubuntu Fridge calendar. But, if it is occupied 
for some reason when we get there, we can fallback to a private channel 
(#ubuntu-arb, or something like that).
