What are the short term plans for ULE? I understand turning it off for
RELENG_5, so I take it will be tested in HEAD? ULE has many nice
features and it would be a shame that it wasn't tested well enough so
that bugs can eventually be fixed.

But it has to be tested at some point in time, else it will be in limbo
state for ever. Maybe a note in UPDATING explainning the situation would
be convenient so people willing to devote time to test and help fix ULE
can do so.
