Nathan, that is unrelated to this bug. Even if (1) ksplice was forked and maintained for non-Oracle OSes, (2) the Ubuntu kernel team changed their minds about using it by default, and (3) it was finally implemented in Ubuntu, this alert would *still* be necessary for the cases where an update either failed to splice or needed a custom-spliced version that isn't present. And as long as the alert exists, it should let you restart the computer.
