(Get the code!)
Even though the Xubuntu team has temporarily lost focus on Mir, I am willing to help the Mir team with testing my configuration. Note that I am a programmer too (my day job!) so if you want me to try something unusual and/or debug a bit to address this issue, I am open to this.
Clearly, the CedarView population is quite small. There isn't even a "gma3650" kernel module to provide full support. The Xorg modesetting driver used with gma500 is what makes my Xubuntu 13.10 Alpha-2 experience quite positive.
There could be quite a few "oddball" "graphic card" types out there (E.g. old Intel, Nvidia, and Ratheon). Do you and the Ubuntu folks have a generic reliable fallback process (E.g. to Xorg from display manager Y) if the 13.10 release installation is less than what is hoped for? My Xubuntu 13.10 Alpha-2 experience with LightDM was good in that respect; fallback works every time. That could make the 13.10 launch almost 100% painless. I would also suggest providing a high-level way of "turning off" Mir if things are unpleasant while using a desktop based on Mir (E.g. GUI off/on + reboot).
Good luck.
