[Sugar-devel] API-string freeze break request

[James Cameron]

G'day,

I've reviewed the patches.

I don't think this is worth breaking API and string freeze, as both
are new features.

I'd like to see them go through the new feature design process.

In reviewing the patches, two more new features came to mind:

- use higher bandwidth 5 GHz channels for ad-hoc, not only the
  channels 1, 6, and 11,

- secured ad-hoc.

With ad-hoc enabled a remote attacker need only transmit packets that
prevent use of an access point, and the laptop will revert to
unsecured ad-hoc, and begin to reveal useful data to an attacker.
