Nathan, that is unrelated to this bug. Even if (1) ksplice was forked
and maintained for non-Oracle OSes, (2) the Ubuntu kernel team changed
their minds about using it by default, and (3) it was finally
implemented in Ubuntu, this alert would *still* be necessary for the
cases where an update either failed to splice or needed a custom-spliced
version that isn't present. And as long as the alert exists, it should
let you restart the computer.
