</span>Thanks for the question. The kernel that landed in yakkety this week caused<br>
critical regressions for the "alternate" installer, affecting Ubuntu Server<br>
and Lubuntu Alternate images. Resolving this issue will require a further<br>
kernel respin, which unfortunately was not discovered until the end of day<br>
Friday (after several respins had already been done), so there's no<br>
possibility of releasing these images until Monday.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, the archive remains in beta freeze state and the release<br>
team will do what we can to keep the archive freeze from impacting yakkety<br>
development unnecessarily, but some delays should be expected while we work<br>
to finish getting the beta into a releasable state.<br>
