 - approved as a target of opportunity for lucid final; it does not sound particularly intrusive for other hardware, so we do not need to push it as early as possible (thus not milestoning)

- I did not get time to work on implementing this detection system, as my Lucid X duties kept me fully booked throughout the release. However I've written up my thoughts on what would need to be done on the attached wiki page. It seems like a lot of coding work.

- discovered that the spec actions were assigned to me. POSTPONED them all as I don't have hardware to test for lucid (plus it's *really* late)
