Hi,

(following up on -motu, to have the discussion there).

I don't object that much to bringing in experimental software. However the 
intention to not support this software then (as Jonathan stated [1], Jonathan 
please correct me if I read that wrong) is what I particularly don't like, as 
this means that MOTUs will need to do that work then. 

Side note: I've called for a MC vote [2] quite early with a certain intention: 
Imo it would be a good thing to bring this issue before TB as soon as 
possible (probably on 13th?) since it's impact is not limited to MOTU land 
but also on the kubuntu community. Does that sound sane?

Cheers,
   Stefan.
