Hey Rick,

Well ill be missing this UDS because of college tests but ill more than
likely be listening in so ill chat about it then. 

Oh and on the Shell appropriateness I think it will be ready in time but
I dont expect it to be perfect but I still think it would be the right
time to include it even if serious testing is needed. Anyhow I just
thought id mention it anyway, cheers and congrats on 10.04 to all :)
