Hi folks, Well, we found out that removing all NBS kernel packages for stable series was not altogether without its problems for users. We have modified the removal policy going forward in response to feedback.
Meanwhile, in preparation for the move of bionic from standard support to
ESM, the Release Team has noticed that NBS cleanup for ESM releases has so
far been deferred until the releases go fully EOL.
At this point, the *newest* kernel image in trusty-security is missing 3
years of security updates. I believe it's therefore reasonable to require
that users doing deployments of trusty today should do so using a kernel
that is *no more than* 3 years out of date, before immediately enabling
Ubuntu Pro and upgrading to a recent kernel security release.
Consequently, I will be removing all kernel packages older than linux
3.13.0-170.220 from trusty-{updates,security} next week.
I will leave xenial as-is for the moment, and send further mail before
making any changes to NBS packages there.
Thanks,
