[sugar] [Activity Proposal] Develop

[Marco Pesenti Gritti]

I think we should aim at including Develop in 0.84.

It's an essential activity but it's not tested a lot, it will require
complex glucose changes and the maintenance situation is undefined at
the moment.

(Just in the case it's not clear, this is *my* opinion. Discussion and
more opinions are welcome!)
