[Bug 620755] Re: Lucid update to 2.6.32.18 stable

[Brad Figg]

** Summary changed:

- Lucid update to 2.6.32.20 stable
+ Lucid update to 2.6.32.18 stable

** Description changed:

  SRU Justification
  
  Impact:
    The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
    in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
    demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
    by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally
    backported form of that patch. The 2.6.32.17 upstream stable
    patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
    kernel as well.
