+        in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to

+        by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally
+        backported form of that patch. The 3.16.7-ckt14 upstream stable
+        patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
+        kernel as well.
