[sugar] Finale: consider merging a few fun Sugar patches?

[Michael Stone]

Folks,

We've reached the last call for changes before final test and, in the
hopes of ending our development cycle on a playful note, I'd like to ask
the sugar team to consider whether they'd be comfortable reviewing and
merging a couple of the outstanding UI patches like Scott's "alternate
layouts" patches [1] and Martin's "network feedback" patches [2].

Sugar team: you can nix the idea if it seems too risky, if the patches
aren't baked, or if it would take too much time to accomplish, but if
you're willing to step up and handle the review, merge, and testing,
then I think it would a joyous finale to a remarkable development cycle.

Regards,

Michael

P.S. - (The deadline for this action, should you choose to accept it,
would be Friday afternoon.)

P.P.S. - Eben mentioned to me that he was concerned that people might
falsely interpret some of the new 8.2.0 Sugar APIs as stable when they
are, in fact, almost certain to change in the next major release. I
would find it commendable if some Sugar developer took this last
opportunity to add some bold comments to the relevant APIs warning
developers who examine them about this probable future breakage.
