Vivid's lifetime is through January, 2016; if this update is easy for you
to add, please do.

Trusty sounds difficult. There are multiple supported kernels for 14.04 LTS;
3.13 kernel in 14.04.1
3.16 kernel from 14.04.2 (linux-generic-lts-utopic)
3.19 kernel from 14.04.3 (linux-generic-lts-vivid)
4.2 kernel (linux-generic-lts-wily).

All of these are currently supported; when 16.04 LTS is released, I think
then only the original 3.13 kernel and the (probably) 4.4 kernel from
16.04 LTS will be supported.

I think VB hasn't worked for anyone on the HWE kernels; will this update
mean VB will only work on the newest HWE kernels and break for users
still on the original 3.13 kernels?

Is there anything that could be done to help?

Thanks
