Hi,
this was overlooked for too long but came up in bug 2046470 again which made me see this for the first time.

I'd wish we'd have had that even a bit earlier e.g. to release it with
mantic and not half way through noble, but still now is the time to
still change the next LTS.

I needed to make up my mind on this to come to a conclusion and so I wrote a
summary mostly for myself, but also for others that I want to ack to the
decision as well as for anyone to later be able to understand what changed
and why.

I must admit that I'm slightly biased, having looked at it ages ago, even
before I was more active in Ubuntu development and already wondering if that
should be used by default.

And yes, some people had a stronger wish to get it out of the default.
So as already reported, many have already asked to remove it.

I'll try to break up my answers to be more easily referable.
