I'd like to list exceptions we want to ask, both FFe and UIFe.
These are the most likely, the list should not enlarge! :-)
The remaining LP bug numbers, with a precise description, will be added as soon as I will have them.

=== FFe ===
  * Locally integrated menus
   - indicator-appmenu side
   - will fall under the FFe for LIM being filed by Unity Shell team
  * GMenuModel support in HUD/Appmenus
   -https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/924007
   - Would you formally apply a FFe to this?
  * Improved support for XUL applications
   -https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/921231
   - Would you formally apply a FFe to this?
  * Disable overlay scrollbars for accessibility
   - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/934123
   - It's quite important for being a LTS, unfortunately we didn't have enough time to fix it before FF
  * X clickpad support (pending call-for-testing outcome)
   -https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/932947
   - Hopefully proposed next week, maybe following week
   - Not "required", if rejected we can put into a PPA
  * Geis grail gesture accept/reject
   - Should be proposed next week
   - Not "required", but really needs to be in 12.04

=== UIFe ===
  * light-themes unfocused windows theme
   - It's a theme for unfocused windows, like Mac OS does
   - Great improvement in usability (easier to see the focused window)
   - 100% safe, no crashes (Gtk+ supports that upstream), it's merely CSS
   - It won't affect documentation, as it won't change the look of the focused windows
   - I will finish the work in few days after UI freeze, I prefer to spend next week reviewing unity visuals and postpone this after because modifications to light-themes are safe (CSS)
   - I will personally in charge of that

~~~

Congrats all for the work done so far!
