Just wondering: Ubuntu will have an LTS release in April, and the Feature 
Freeze happened on Feb 29, so getting 8.3 in there would require an exception. 
They have their docs on that on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

For me personally, I tend to take whatever is in the LTS and stick to it for 
my laptop. From reading this list, there seems to be a bunch of things that 
have been fixed in 8.3.0 that has caused problems for users with 8.2. 

As per that page, do you think it could be demonstrated "that the benefit of 
new functionality, or the total benefit of a new upstream release which 
includes it, outweighs the risk of regressions and other potential disruption 
of the release process." so that once Debian packages 8.3.0, the community 
should argue for the inclusion of 8.3.0 in the next Ubuntu LTS?

Kind regards,
