Whiteboard

jdstrand> asac questioned whether webkit's URI-handling is secure as opposed to just convenient. Since webapps will be launched in a chromeless webview and not as a general purpose browser, external links should always be opened in the full browser and not the webview

It was decided to delay the phablet kernel backport until the dbus revision where done as it will affect the abi, and may have synchronization issues between kernel, dbus, and apparmor userspace

"backport apparmor patches to phablet kernels" is now in the foundations-1303-phablet-kernel-maintenance bp

(?)
