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. > out and not compile at all for RELENG_5 and RELENG_5_3.

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.
