Comment 1 for bug 1552630

2 weeks until beta and 6 weeks until release.

I'm worried that if this proves to be buggy then it's going to distract the developers from the many other Unity fixes that are queued up to be worked on (http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-x-tracking-bug-tasks.html). It's rare that things are 100% straight away, and Unity has had some late feature additions in the past that have required fixing up. These branches are quite large in terms of LOC delta.

I don't think it's going to be a niche feature - this is something that will be promoted and so people will use it, and it'll need to be properly supported.

Why is adding this feature now in 16.04 LTS worth the risk of other fixes not making it?
