Comment 15 for bug 1055684

We appreciate how late we've landed this whole feature, and I apologize once again for the disruption this is causing to the release. We have apologized for that from the start (even in e.g. Olli's email), but allow me to assure you that the apology is quite sincere, and that we know how this kind of disruption and late-landing changes are typically high risk and can impact the quality of the release, and that you are quite concerned about that.

On the flip side we'd like you to understand that we have also compromised a lot of features and designed functionality to accommodate the ubuntu release process, and that this is one instance where we don't think it's reasonable to compromise. The branch associated with this tag works well, is well-tested (because it is the same code present in the music lens), and is a drastic improvement over what's in the archive right now. Do you understand that your proposed solution is instead a big regression?

What can we do to help overcome your concerns and get this through without the inevitable escalation?
