Hi Dominik,
thanks for the links.

Yes 1.3.1 is ancient in a way of "as old as the 16.04 Ubuntu release"
plus fix-backports as they are identifiable and qualify for the SRU
process [1].

We have three Options here, but atm not all are feasible:

1. Backport the fix to Xenial
I beg your pardon, but for this particular case so far I unable to recreate to 
debug further on my side or to identify the fix it would need for the SRU - I 
provided a test ppa in c#15 to help with that, but I understand that it can be 
unwanted to shove that into production systems to test it.

2. Update the packages in Xenial to newer versions
The complexity of the virtualization stack (and all the potential regressions 
by just upgrading the versions for everyone out there) can be high, so just 
bumping all those in Xenial to the level e.g. we have in artful do not qualify 
for an SRU update.

3. Use a backport
Since the virtualization stack is one of those places where the "newer vs 
stable" issue comes up often, and even more so because newer openstack releases 
should go along a newer virt-stack there is a way out just as you assume. Via 
the Ubuntu Cloud Archive [2] you can get access to a backport of the most 
recent versions into the latest LTS. While it wasn't created for that I'd think 
this is the "backport" to 16.04 LTS you might be looking for.
