=== ARM Status  ===
 Q/omap4: first omap4 kernel (Ubuntu-3.4.0-200.1) based off 3.4rc7 has
been pushed to the repository - some noticeable bits were disabled
(omap5 support, sound, sata, dsp, etcetc) but work is geared to enable
all the remaining parts.
 A v3.4 based version was uploaded.

=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
 We've rebased the Quantal kernel to upstream v3.4 final and uploaded.
 This upload collapses the -virtual flavor, reinstates the i386 generic
 flavor, and transitions the i386 generic-pae flavor to the generic
 flavor.  We've also homogenized the entire linux-meta package and
 removed the non-smp powerpc meta package as it was made obsolete in
 Precise.
 Important upcoming dates:
  * Thurs Jun 7 - Alpha 1 (~2 weeks)

=== Status: CVE's  ===
 == 2012-05-22 (weekly) ==
