 Quoting from my comment on #4663:

 "What is Connect doing as an Update.1 candidate in the first place? It's a
 demo of Tubes functionality, and is maintained as such. We don't have the
 resources to maintain it as a user-friendly activity with features and UI
 (its maintainer is "morgs whenever he isn't working on PS and Sugar") so
 if you want it in a state where it can be shipped to children, I think
 someone else from laptop.org will have to take on maintenance.

 "We should definitely fix [#4663], because Connect is an example activity
 whose correctness developers rely on, but I don't think Connect should be
 shipped to the children, who will be frustrated and confused by bugs like:

 http://dev.laptop.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&component
 =connect-
 activity&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=component

 "In my view, the ideal situation would be that Connect remains on Joyride
 images (because it makes a useful smoke-test for Tubes, with no external
 dependencies) but never propagates to Update.1, or perhaps that it
 propagates to Update.1 but is removed shortly before release."

 jg suggests having someone else adopt Connect.
