For a detailed overview of the transitions which have taken place, please refer to the thread on the kernel-team mailing list [3]. As a final note, for those upgrading from Precise 12.04, the flavor changes should go unnoticed assuming the appropriate meta packages have been installed. If there are any questions or concerns, please let us know.
