nothing to report this week

Status: Precise Development Kernel

We intend to uploaded the 3.2.0-19.31 kernel today. This upload
contains a rebase to v3.2.12, disables CONFIG_DRM_PSB_CDV, and provides
a necessary fix for pre-core99 UP machines which then allows us to
proceed with removing the non-smp PowerPC flavor. This will be the last
upload prior to Beta-2 Freeze this Thurs, March 22. Any uploads after
that are subject to approval of the release team. Beta-2 is next Thurs,
Mar 29.
Important upcoming dates:

• Thurs Mar 22 – Beta-2 Freeze (~2 days)
• Thurs Mar 29 – Beta-2 (~1 week)
