List of remaining exceptions, I don't think there will be more.

=== 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, should be in 12.04
* Geis grail gesture accept/reject
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/utouch-geis/+bug/934207
  - Not "required", but really needs to be in 12.04

=== UIFe ===
* light-themes unfocused windows theme
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/940190
  - 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
* theme nautilus sidebar
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/931088
  - currently the sidebar is white and not clearly distinguishable from 
the browsing chrome
  - aesthetic change, but valuable as nautilus is a primary app
  - 100% safe, no crashes, it's merely CSS

Congrats all for the work done so far!
