  The above summarizes the remaining work items for the 13.04 cycle. None
  are critical for the 13.04 release and some of the mobile/phablet
  related items will roll forward to 13.10.

=== Status: Raring Development Kernel  ===
  We are 2 days from 13.04's release.  All kernel patches submitted must
  adhere to our SRU policy.  Only critical bug fixes necessary for the
  13.04 release will warrant an upload at this time.  There are currently
  no plans for a 0-day SRU kernel either.

  Important upcoming dates:
   * Thurs Apr 25 - Ubuntu 13.04 Final (2 days)

=== Status: CVE's  ===
  == 2013-04-23 (weekly) ==
  Currently we have 81 CVEs on our radar, with 18 CVEs added this week.
  See the CVE matrix for the current list:
      * http://people.canonical.com/~kernel/cve/pkg/ALL-linux.html
  Overall the backlog has decreased slightly this week:

=== Status: Stable, Security, and Bugfix Kernel Updates - 
Quantal/Precise/Oneiric/Lucid/Hardy  ===
  *   Lucid - In Verification; (14 commits)
  * Precise - In Verification; 2 upstream releases; (170 commits)
  * Quantal - In Verification; 2 upstream releases; (225 commits)
  Precise and Quantal had multiple regressions during verification.
  One regression has been isolated to an i915 patch which has been reverted
  The other is almost completely bisected.
  When complete, Precise and Quantal will be respun.

=== Open Discussion or Questions? Raise your hand to be recognized ===
  There was a question about what's going on the arm side.
  The question was rather open ended, so further discussion was moved to 
#ubuntu-kernel.
  The following patch was also discussed: 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mlankhorst/linux/commit/?id=ae7b687c2a57ec50a9d3dde7b0a80a262fdc8c8
  It was requested that a bug is opened, and a SRU request can be 
submitted.
