That makes sense. How does this relates to the proposed implementation
in three phases as split in #5464? Phase 1 would replace the current
Greeter and phase 2 would introduce the configuration assistant. Would
you release phase 1 only with Tails Jessie, or both?

I also realized that in our last grant application we said that we would
aim at "releasing Tails Jessie at most 9 months after Debian Jessie is
officially released". So this probably won't happen before fall 2015 or
winter 2016. I'm fine with releasing the new Greeter by then only but if
you want to go much faster than that, then Tails Jessie might not be
ready...
