I'm sure everyone has a lot on their plates with Lucid coming up so quickly, but I would like to draw some attention to libpcap (the library behind wireshark and tcpdump). The version currently in Lucid has several memory leaks as well as having completely broken support for USB. There is a new upstream release which fixes all of these, and I have filed for a freeze exception at [1].
Lucid is shaping up to be a great release, let's make it even better.
