That has received a fair bit of attention during the 3.8 cycle due to the new gnome-weather app. I believe it has Yahoo and Yr.no weather providers.

Re: Intention to drop Wubi from 13.04 release
Thanks for merging. I'll take a look at the UEFI issues.

I had a look at Wubi fails to detect 12.04.2 and 13.04 AMD64 ISO https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/1134770 and found that the fix is a one-liner configuration file change (in data/isolist.ini). The fix for 13.04 installer doesn't create user account https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/1155704 could be to simply remove the disk-image installs from 13.04. This again is a two line removal from the same configuration file. I've patched and tested both 12.04.2 and 13.04 with these changes to confirm they work. Thanks a lot for your branches. I have merge all of your fixes, tested it with window7 and they work correctly. For 13.04 we have disabled and stopped building disk-images, so those are gone. And the isolist.ini is correct as per your patches to match reality. I have pinged Evan, to publish a release and request the wubi.exe builds for Precise and Raring be signed such that we can release them. I am not sure how long the delay is but hopefully we will be able to release wubi for precise raring soon. Re. Windows 8: that may not be solvable right now, but I expect there are still many more BIOS-based computers out there than UEFI. And the regular dual boot for UEFI has many problems as well. Wubi could probably be smarter about checking whether Windows is booting through UEFI and exit gracefully prior to downloading the ISO/diskimage. Would you be able to contribute safe-guards (e.g. bail out, disable hibernation) and or Windows8 UEFI boot integration for wubi? The first one will prevent people from getting disappointed, while the later will potentially make wubi fully supperted yet again.

Isn't there a chance that someone will be motivated to do an SRU to fix the most egregious problems later? If it's totally broke, let's drop it and backport it if/when it gets fixed. A backport will appear in software center just like something in the main archive if there's no archive version for it AIUI (apt certainly treats it that way since backports are enabled by default, but pinned lower).
