=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
  Last week we uploaded the 3.5.0-13.14 Quantal kernel.  This upload
  contained some bug fixes which we felt we important for the Beta-1
  milestone.  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.

  re-targetted towards the Beta-2 milestone.
  Important upcoming dates:
