lightning talk means we got a 15min slot, it seems too much content to
me, or maybe we get a longer slot for that talk

Besides features we see more and more adoption and users being pretty
happy to build with ISAR.
That includes Siemens internal communication and what we saw coming
from Intel and others. Users who are happy and do not even show up on
this list. Might be worth putting on a slide.

We have the sbuild/schroot story (upcoming). I did not yet try it but
guess it will be a performance topic (because of less serialization)
and a quality topic because of "Build-Depends".

Seeing the so far very positive adoption i would conclude that
"performance" it the #1 in all that has happened. With all the other
topics being "we care to improve and cater".
