Is a 16.04 alpha 2 needed?

[Martin Wimpress]

Hi,

I spoken with Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu.

  * Kubuntu and Xubuntu have both said they do not wish to participate in
Alpha 2.
  * Lubuntu and Ubuntu MATE definitely do want to participate.

I'll speak with the Lubuntu release team and see which of us will help with
release tasks.

Regards, Martin.
