This is a bugfix-only release, as confirmed by the changelog at <http://paste.ubuntu.com/24229715/>. There is some risk of unrelated regression which is mitigated by upstream testing that has been done. [Test case] Verify that virtualbox from proposed works on both the linux kernel and the linux-hwe kernel. I installed the latest updates (including kernel) in xenial-proposed and got this crash report.
