I'm confused.

As I understand it, a simple solution exists upstream, it's been
understood for over a month, and it's easy to apply. I also understand
that this bug affects everybody who uses Ubuntu 14.04 on AWS, and it
prevents anybody from using Ubuntu 14.04 in a production environment on
AWS. A sketchy workaround -- replacing the kernel -- might suffice for
test or development environments. (I'm rehashing what I've learned from
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/logstash-users/sFNrqRbI6EM and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1308796 and the
LKML....)

So why hasn't Ubuntu updated its AWS cloud images? Why didn't Ubuntu fix
its kernel before re-releasing its AWS cloud images on 2014-06-07, at
http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/14.04/release/? Was anybody
aware, when releasing those images, that they are unreliable? If so, was
there a release note that I missed?

I don't understand the logistical issues that are keeping this bug
unresolved. What would it take to escalate this bug to Critical?

Either I'm affected by this kernel bug far more than everybody else is,
I have unrealistic expectations about Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, or Ubuntu is
being too opaque.

What's happening?
