My unscientific prediction is that we'll have at least half of 3.4 in
Precise. The question is more about how many and what specific apps we
want to hold back to 3.2 to focus packaging and bugfixing efforts for
the best quality by release time. Even in Oneiric's case, we held back
Totem (3.2 seems to require working 3D graphics), Epiphany (confusion
about whether new WebKit would be stable in time), and GDM (lack of
manpower/attention).
