The background for the change is the desire to remove tsclient from the CD, but Vinagre's lack of RDP support was blocking this. The feedback from users was also that Remmina worked better.

My review of Remmina shows it to have a more complex interface, but this is probably not a major issue for the target audience for such an application.

Altough not mandatory, remmina is mostly useless without remmina-plugins package, as most of the features are provided via plugin interface nowadays. You'll have to consider freerdp too, as build-dependency of remmina-plugins.

I see no reason not to demote them, however I'm not familiar with the required process. (Note that rdesktop could also be demoted).

Approved. There seem to be a few crash bugs in Ubuntu, but nothing unreasonable.

However, note that freerdp did not get approved (bug 673925). From the reasons for this MIR, I'm wondering if its worth using remmina until RDP support is enabled?

I'll hold back Remmina from the CD until we can get RDP support.
