Please read

Quoting the developer: "Since 90% of the code is new any feedback will
be greatly appreciated."
This is what I call "too many changes".

After a release, only security or bugfix updates (Stable Release Update)
are allowed.
Nobody said it couldn't be backported: it just needs to be packaged and
uploaded for jaunty as soon as the repositories open, and then you'll be
able to request a backport (you don't even have to be a developer for that).

Have you tested it on several configurations to say this?
Anyway, ask the Xubuntu Team Leader, motu-release and/or motu-sru if you
want a per-case decision on this.
