I agree that we would want to keep providing enablement stacks in the future 12.04.x LTS point releases. I also agree with Bryce that while we could stay reasonably close the original plan, we would have to re-evaluate some of the enablement stack policies/procedures going forward if we moved to a rolling release model. I have taken the liberty to register a blueprint [1] for UDS next week to discuss some of the items my team would like to specifically address. Please feel free to add any additional items of interest there as well and I look forward to chatting next week.
