When Ubuntu 16.10 becomes end of life next week, people will be able to upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 17.04. I gather that this feature exists in Ubuntu 17.10 (artful) and that you want to add it to Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial), however if someone were to upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 17.04 they would they experience a regression because the feature does not exist in Ubuntu 17.04. Given that I think the feature should also be added to Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty).
