Since this version is largely about stability, why not do a substantial upgrade to the systems that allow users to report bugs?
apport and hwdb-gui could use a facelift.
I'd like to see hwdb-gui report on more features of Ubuntu. Right now it just checks keyboard, audio, video, networking. It should ultimately report on all the essential features of Ubuntu. Things to add: does usplash work. Does the ubuntu-splashscreen show up. Does feature X Y and Z of Compiz work. Is your 2nd display working (if you have one), does Compiz work on it, too? Do all your firefox plugins work properly?
Basically, all the "essential" things that can fail but in failing do not already produce bug reports via apport. That stuff should appear in hwdb-gui.
