One big thing I see missing here is the expected QA work.  To make LUC
our primary downloadable we should logically have associated release
criteria.  What are the expected cases that must work, i.e. blockers
for release?  I could see that as a host OS matrix for each expected
action; IOW there might be differences based on the OS where the user
runs LUC (or maybe not).

IIRC we aren't blocking on LUC currently -- so whether this means
reviving old criteria or creating new ones, that needs to be clear.
OTOH, the functions of LUC are pretty well constrained.  So maybe this
isn't too large a change.
