I don't believe there is a difference between the DKMS and the binaries, as they are built in the same environment, but I'm happy to do the test for both.

Please update the text to clarify:

  • What SRU policy points for which you are requesting an exception.
  • Details of the testing you will perform to the standard specified at https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/SRU/reference/requirements/#test-plan
  • How we can be confident that these updates will not regress users, for example by referencing upstream commitments to maintain use cases available in Ubuntu stable releases
  • How we can be confident that an update won't drop support for hardware previously supported in a specific Ubuntu release, for example by referencing upstream commitments to not drop hardware support in the updates that you propose to land into Ubuntu the future

Hi @basak , thanks for your review. I'll work on the points you raised, in particular I'll need some time for the second one.

I will ask you a new review once all the required points will be properly defined in the document.
