Well I really hope that we start with LXQt in this cycle. The feedback is 
really good. It's mentioned as a potential XFCE killer!

I'm now running "stable" 0.8, compiled in my PPA ppa:joern-schoenyan/lxqt, 
the packaging is taken from the Siduction people (if you read this: thank 
you very, very much!) and my WIP update manager is also included. LXQt has 
much potential, and I think 15.04 is a good first release for it:

* we have a solid LTS
* we can introduce our new technology in 15.04, refine it with our user's 
feedback in 15.10 and then iron out bugs for the next LTS

Even if I'm not affected, I wouldn't be happy with that, but it is 
reasonable. Walter is right saying that we have a lot of work to do. So we 
shouldn't be burdened with this.
