=== ARM Status  ===
  R/master: the -omap flavour was renamed -generic and support for 
Calxeda SOC was added to it.
  The -generic rename, coupled with the deletion of R/omap4 and the 
removal of the highbank
  flavour from master, officialy mark the beginning of arm multiplatform 
support
  in UBUNTU.

=== Status: Raring Development Kernel  ===
  We have rebased Raring to the latest v3.8.4 upstream stable kernel and
  uploaded.  We have also began work to provide support for highbank in
  Raring.  We have also rebased our unstable-3.9 branch to the latest
  upstream v3.9-rc4.
  Please be aware that Beta Freeze is fast approaching, ie this Thurs Mar
  28.  We will perform one more upload either today or tomorrow prior to
  Beta Freeze.  Beta release is then next week on Apr 4 and Kernel Freeze
  is the following week on Apr 11.  All patches submitted after Kernel
  Freeze must adhere to our SRU policy.
  Important upcoming dates:
   * Thurs Mar 28 - 13.04 Beta Freeze (~2 days)
   * Thurs Apr 04 - 13.04 Final Beta Release (~1 week)
   * Thurs Apr 11 - Kernel Freeze (~2 weeks)
