=== What was done engineering wise? ===
We received a freeze exception this week and uploaded the 3.5.0-17.28
kernel.  This most notably contained some critical bug fixes for the
release:

 * Bug:1061599 - beagle: omap3: usb is dead
 * Bug:1021471 - clone() hang when creating new network namespace
 * Bug:1030233 -not have bluetooth usb 0489:e046 Foxconn / Hon Hai 
 * Bug:717970 - After sleep, key presses get lost and trackpad is jittery

As usual, we also uploaded this kernel to the 
ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport PPA to facilitate testing of the
12.10 kernel in 12.04.  Please test and let us know your results.

=== What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release as a whole? ===
