I've not been following this particularly closely, but this bug looks
like an ex-MIR which needs some more information for feature freeze
consideration. What is the feature freeze exception for? Seeding onto
the ISO presumably?

  - What testing has been done? Given that it's being added late,
    there's less time for more organic testing to happen.
  - What's the risk to users: where might problems appear for them so
    what should we be keeping half an eye on?

I noticed that this adds a new daemon to be run by each user all of the
time (it is activated from systemd --user's default.target), whether
they have a graphical session or not or want to ever make use of this
functionality. Is this justified? It looks like the program actually
exposes a D-Bus interface and is activatable - would it be possible
please to investigate if the systemd unit can be not enabled (but still
installed) so that people only get this running once something on the
system asks for it?

Cheers,
