=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
  We've recently uploaded the 3.5.0-13.13 Quantal kernel to the release
  pocket.  This upload most notably provides a rebase to the v3.5.3
  upstream stable release.  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.
  [1] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/q-lts-backport
  Note that we are 2 days away from Beta-1 Freeze and ~1 week away from
  Beta-1 intself.  I do not foresee any further uploads before Thursday,
  ie. Beta-1 Freeze.  If there are any critical fixes which need to land,
  we need to know now.  Any uploades after Beta-1 Freeze will require
  approval from the release team.
  Important upcoming dates:
   * Thurs Aug 30 - Beta 1 Freeze (2 days)
   * Thurs Sept 6 - Beta 1 (~1 week)

=== Status: CVE's  ===
  == 2012-08-28 (weekly) ==
  Currently we have 88 CVEs on our radar, with two CVEs added and two 
CVEs retired this week.
  See the CVE matrix for the current list:

  Overall the backlog has decreased slightly this week:
