Comment 10 for bug 294182

I agree with Anthony Glenn, the yelp fix should be in Maverick, it is indeed very important to have a responsive help system, and 40 s startup time for the help is not reasonable. @Fabian Rodriguez: Feature Freeze is in place, but there can be Feature Freeze exceptions: in the following cases(according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureFreeze) : - is a reasonable fix for an important bug, - other exceptional circumstances, as judged by the release managers.
There are Feature freeze exceptions (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess), the only thing is that it must be proved, that it won't break anything working right now.
Feature freeze exceptions should be filed as new bugs, with the following included:
-A description of the proposed changes, with sufficient detail to estimate their potential impact on the distribution
-A rationale for the exception, explaining the benefit of the change
-Any additional information which would be helpful in considering the decision
That can be done IMO, and it's worth a try.
See the details for reporting a feature freeze exception on the wiki page mentioned above.
