=== Status: Precise Development Kernel  ===
 The Precise kernel is currently frozen and release candidate images are
 set to be spun this Thurs Apr 19.  Final release is almost 1 week away
 on Thurs Apr 26.  We have started queuing patches for the first kernel
 SRU.  This includes patches from the most recent v3.2.15 upstream stable
 release.  Should an additional upload be required before final release,
 we will try to include a few bug fixes which have been queued.  Please
 note that at this point in time, all patches are subject to our SRU
 policy and uploads will only be granted at the discretion of the release
 team.
