=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
  We've recently uploaded the 3.5.0-8.8 Quantal kernel to the release
  pocket. This upload includes misc bug fixes, upstream feature enablement
  for Intel HW, and a sync of AUFS (even though we plan to keep it
  disabled atm).  This was also uploaded to the q-lts-backport [1] PPA to
  help facilitate testing of the 12.10 kernel in 12.04.  We welcome anyone
  to please install, test, and let us know your feedback.
