However, Matt (who was doing the bulk of the testing) mentioned on the mailing list that they could potentially be merged, as they were "a relatively simple/optional service and the patch in the review queue looks fairly complete"[3]. So I definitely dropped a ball in not going back and working out whether or not to merge it. However, even if it had been merged, it still would have remained untested, which was the reason we declined the spec and the patch in the first place.

However, it will be untested against Kilo (and will require a note stating that) and, as Andreas noted, with large scale changes to the Install Guide looming for Newton, could be completely redesigned or removed in the next release.

Matt said, he will complete Mitaka - and this is a Mitaka topic.

Let me remove my -2 nevertheless now,
