     PS: some of the breakage 'duration' was due to a disk full condition on gimli, that prevented
     jenkins from sucessfully doing the post build step (uplaod the result to tinderbox website)
     hence a few build that end up being marked as 'unstable'... and since that happened just after
     a legitimate 'red' that made the red outage apprear longer than it was.
 
* AppArmor profiles (Bjoern)
  http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-AppArmor-profiles-td4146389.html
      + drop files into /etc/foo ? (Michael)
      + don't know how distro-specific
      + allows specific things to happen for certain executables
      + UNO bindings can do everything
      + drop the config as a template not a config (Michael)
           + store it in sysui/ ? (Miklos)
AI:   + get it in (Bjoern, Bryan)
 
* ref-counted SwUnoCrsrs? (Bjoern)
    + WIP patch on gerrit; making SwUnoCrsrs held in shared_ptrs
    + some of them unique_ptrs, some scoped, and some naked ptrs.
    + all of them can be deleted from 2x places at least.
    + an UNO cursor, and can be deleted itself, or hope the doc. deletes it
    + find code - that "I'm listening for this cursor"
        + if the broadcaster is gone; just make my ptr NULL to not free it,
          because we're optimistic someone else did (or will).
    + patch on gerrit - compiles; nothing else ...
        + should Bjoern go ahead ?
    + as long as the weak ptr array is cleaned up in destructor - don't care (Michael S)
    + liked the approach (Miklos)
    + give a shared_ptr to whomever holds the UNO ptr (Bjoern)
        + unique_ptr users get a weak_ptr instead, to check if it's deleted
    => go for it.
 
* VclPtr update (Michael)
    + passes 'make check' for me.
    + leaks need fixing
    + tools -> vcl dep needs unwinding
    + otherwise have it in soon.
AI:     + post README.lifecycle to the list (Michael)
    + dispose / destructor ordering foo.
 
* QA (Robinson)
    + UNCONFIRMED at 316
        + bug count +0 this week.
        + unconfirmed stats pretty stable
    + needAdvice at 11
