I agree that focusing on that would be important in the near future.
Regarding my personnal implication, I don't promise I will do more that
testing for it to happen.
However, I also share anonym's concern of a quick-enough 0.12 to bring
features that are really close, thanks to the work done for 0.11.

I don't know how quick I would like to see this tiny 0.12. Perhaps july
is soon enough.

If some of you plan to work on tails-greeter, please consider I expect
future tails-greeter to be based on feature/refactor_languages branch,
that not merged as is currently still introducing a bug (tails-greeter
UI not in english after restarting gdm3 with a running non-english Tails
session.
