+ Impact:
+ The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
+ in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
+ demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
+ by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
+ a minimally backported form of that patch. The v4.4.24 upstream stable
+ patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
+ kernel as well.
