Landscape Client 23.02 has been released. We would like to get these
changes into focal, jammy, kinetic, and lunar.

As far as released version of Ubuntu are concerned, the required pieces
of information for the needed SRU follow (as laid out in the "Procedure"
section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).

=== Statement explaining the impact ===

This release includes important bug-fixes that impact a large amount of
our supported customers, a large amount of which are on focal. Main
fixes include:

  1) Preventing the generation of large messages and logs that can overwhelm Landscape Server (LP: #1995775)
  2) Improved MOTD slowdown on machines with many tap network interfaces (LP: #2006396)
  3) No longer using deprecated apt-key when storing trusted GPG keys (LP: #1973202)
  4) Fixed issue recognising Parallels VMs as Virtual Machine clients (LP: #1827909)
  5) Fixes for incorrect logfile rotation config (LP: #1968189)
  6) Client-side backoff handling to moderate traffic to Landscape Server during high load (LP: #1947399)
  7) Avoid sending empty messages when catching up to expected next message (LP: #1917540)

New features:

  8) --is-registered CLI option to quickly check if client is registered (LP: #1912516)
  9) Can now report Ubuntu Pro attachment information if the version of Landscape Server it is registered to supports this (LP: #2006401)
