Comment 23 for bug 1551986

To override the release team, a comment needs to be posted on the bug.

Here's what will happen right now

  - Marco will remove the not-acked parts of Unity and Compiz and re-upload these.
  - I'll unblock bamf and hud - these changes are not-contentious and add window manager controls to the hud. Apparently hud doesn't handle its own default keybinding - who knew? :)
  - Once the new versions of compiz and unity (with bug fixes only) are published in xenial-proposed, I'll unblock those.

If we are formally overridden then the merge proposals should be built again for another upload. If this happens then I would personally prefer that it becomes an SRU so that any unexpected problems don't interfere with the release, but that would no longer be my call.

Ideally (IMO) we'd reverse the decision to take over the window manager's controls shortcut and take our time to figure out another solution for 16.04.1, when we turn on upgrades for everybody.
