Hm, I don't get that. To me it would not be pointless. Obviously users who are using xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 want (or need) a new graphics stack. So how would it be pointless to offer it to them ASAP? Do you happen to know why it takes four to six months after a Ubuntu release until linux-generic-hwe-16.04 and xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 will be updated? I mean, 17.04 came out in April and linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge was updated immediately after the 17.04 Kernel freeze, i.e. ASAP. But for linux-generic-hwe-16.04 and xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 to be updated, we will need to wait until August/September. By that time 17.10 will almost be available. Wouldn't it make more sense to update linux-generic-hwe-16.04 and xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 immediately instead of waiting half a year or so? -- Ubuntu-x mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x
