Way saner "High/critical" rls-q-tracking bug list. Working on the High 
ones this week.

For 966744 ( [i965] Resume from suspend leaves me with black screen or a 
screen of the desktop before it suspended. Compiz hung in 
intel_update_renderbuffers() from intel_prepare_render() from 
brw_draw_prims()), it seems non trivial mesa bug. Timo reported it 
upstream. Already present in precise, but doesn't seem to trigger as 
often as in quantal. Will need possibily some help from the unity team 
on that one to workaround it.

=== Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items, 
release wide concerns? ===

  * foundation's XDG_RUNTIME_DIR support still didn't land
