Ok, looking at the history of bolt, I see we did accept new upstream
version bumps for our LTS series as per the HWE exception policy (e.g.
in bionic). I don't see us having any concrete written down arguments
for that. I'm generally fine with this in this particular case, although
I think we would need a bit more exploratory testing done as part of
verification than just checking for the USB4 issues being resolved.
Could you propose some tests that could be ran to check for regressions?
Another thing I'm a bit worried about is the move of the boltd daemon.
For SRUs we generally dislike binaries changing places. Not sure how
this could affect existing users, I assume usr/lib/bolt/boltd was only
used internally by bolt - but is it possible that someone could rely on
the boltd binary externally? Do you think that's a valid concern? Since
normally I'd feel a bit more calm if this particular change got reverted
in comparison to Debian.
** Changed in: bolt (Ubuntu Focal)
Status: In Progress => Incomplete
