the latter, plus also basing it on the very well working "standing" feature
freeze exception for "phone" features, which was just recently called out
of not being needed in U at all (lucky us;)

The default assumption and guideline is that features land in the shared
code base (main/universe) rather than in a product specific branch(e.g. RTM
atm), in accordance with the respective rules/timelines for the shared
Ubuntu code base.
