Public bug reported: ## FFE ##
Version 0.16.3 of adsys contains bug fixes that customers requested and are already in use through PPAs. To avoid having users rely on PPAs as their source (and also avoid having multiple versions throughout PPAs), we'd like to request a FFE for this release. One of the bug fixes is related to certificate autoenrollment, and it's required for autoenrollment to work in some customers' environments. More details can be seen at [1]. The other fix is related to adsys' GPO parsing capabilities. Some customers reported that adsys was failing to apply some (very) large group policy files, and this was due to a buffer going out of space if the entry was too large. More details are in [2] and [3]. Even though bug fixes don't need a FFE, we'd also like to keep the version present in the archive (of the current Ubuntu release) to be in sync with the latest tagged release in the adsys repository. Since most of its users come from a Windows background, they aren't familiar with d/changelogs and our way of releasing packages to Ubuntu, so keeping a standardized version across the repo and the archive is very helpful. This means that we want to release a new upstream version (i.e. 0.16.3), and with that comes along some dependency bumps and documentation improvements that are well tested and checked within our CI and package tests, hence the FFE. Adsys is a supported package, which means this release wouldn't impact Plucky's iso at all. Also, this is an enterprise-focused package, so it's very unlikely that any of its users would be running an interim release (and most of adsys' features require an active Pro subscription).
