What does that mean? There is no plan to offer (useable) WebRTC
implementation in webapp-container ever?

With your reference to the the web API you basically say the only way
is to implement things ourselves using JavaScript, correct? We cannot
easily integrate existing services that already have a substantial
user base, and a working, well-tested infrastructure?

This feels somewhat like "try to persuade Skype that they make their
web version work on Ubuntu Touch". Other companies may be smaller but
they will have the same reasons to shake their heads. There is no
incentive to invest manpower in tailoring solutions to Ubuntu Touch. I
think the Ubuntu Touch platform has to move.

And, sorry, what is wrong from a user (experience) perspective to
offer more control over which camera an app should use? This feature
shouldn't be hidden inside the browser's settings menu, buried three
levels deep where only freaky geeks will go to find it.

I'd really prefer this issue not being ignored that way.
