[06:25] <guest0815> hello. I was wondering – wasn't 16.10 supposed to come with more recent kernels? I'm still getting 4.4 updates and the release isn't that far off. Has there been a change of plans?
[06:32] <OerHeks> Our Yakkety kernel is currently based on v4.6.7. We briefly had a v4.6 based kernel in yakkety-proposed, but it was revoked due to it's lack of support for some arm64 platforms. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Newsletter/
[06:32] <OerHeks> and 4.8 is planned too.
[06:38] <guest0815> OerHeks: ok, thanks for the info! Hope it all goes smoothly.
[06:41] <OerHeks> many improvements with those newer kernels, especially new hardware.
[06:46] <maxb> Yeah, laptops with USB 3.1 Gen2 ports need at least 4.6. Which is why I'm using a http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ kernel on Xenial for now :-)
