Hi all,

Now is the time to drop raring support from the CI / PPAs for Mir and
switch to just saucy - who is still using raring and what is stopping you
from switching?

Stability. All pre-release distros break at some point so I do not allow 
them on my main desktop.

And while I have saucy machines too, I would really like to be able to 
do most of my work on the desktop (raring). Seems feasible with the 
FTBFS fix landing soon.

I will happily "own" raring support if anyone thinks it's a chore.

Although, we are working toward Mir being buildable from source on any 
distro. This is a docs activity but also a little bit of hacking.

Once that's more practical, and the need for PPAs gone, then it will 
follow naturally that anyone can do Mir development on any distro 
(including raring).
