brainstorming for UDS-N - Package Selection and Defaults

[Allison Randal]

The Package Selection and Defaults track is about choosing the
best-of-breed packages (applications, libraries, etc), a common task
across all editions of Ubuntu. It includes considering the viability of
up-and-coming new software, the decline of end-of-life packages, the
risks and gains of upgrades and migrations.

What's high on your list for this area?
