=== ARM Status  ===
  Nothing new this week.

=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
  With 12.10 scheduled to release this Thurs Oct 18, we do not foresee any
  critical kernel bugs which would warrant an upload and require a respin
  of images.  All patches currently queued will be available in the first
  kernel SRU following 12.10's release.  Some of these queued patches
  include the v3.5.6 and v3.5.7 upstream stable patch sets as well as
  additional misc bug fixes.
  Important upcoming dates:
   * Thurs Oct 18 - 12.10 Final (2 days!)
   * UDS-R - Oct 29 - Nov 1

=== Status: CVE's  ===

  == 2012-10-16 (weekly) ==

retired this week.
