Bug Description
The Ubuntu Desktop Team wants to ship gnome-shell/mutter 3.26 with Ubuntu 17.10. The new version appears to improve responsiveness and has quite a few other improvements and tweaks.

armhf issue
===========
The major blocker now is that gjs 1.49/mozjs52 is not working on armhf. See https:/
If we can't find a fix to this problem, we may need to remove gjs (and rdpends) binaries from armhf. We didn't want to rush into doing this but discuss this more as a team first.
One other option is to temporarily remove gjs 1.49 (and gnome-shell, gnome-sushi, polari) from artful-proposed. But since we do want to target mozjs52 for Ubuntu 17.10 for security support reasons, that's only a partial help.
Mutter transition
=================
mutter 3.26 has a soname bump but the only other rdepend, Budgie, is already confirmed as working with the new version.
Packaging is available in the GNOME3 Staging PPA or
