No complaints from the Xubuntu crew as I don't hear many of our users using
w3m. Furthermore, it is much appreciated that this was brought up as I think
it would be appropriate to note in the release notes (especially so for
Xubuntu at least).

It also appears there is general consensus for this chance so when should we
expect this to occur (as I'm sure the QA team will want to update their
tests/documentation in time for the next batch of testing)? Final
notification that this chance has indeed occurred would be appreciated.
