Comment 8 for bug 1674399

Here's the highligh of the discussion I had in #ubuntu-release with infinity about my proposal in comment #6.

<slashd>For SRU, I had a talk with apw and rbasak about this bug a couples weeks ago LP: #1674399, could you please look at this bug and based on the Descriptions and comment #6 if this looks eligible for SRU in Stable release ? (note that this is a HW enablement, not a bug, this is why I'm requesting you to have a look at it) thanks in advance.

<infinity> slashd: I disagree with your reasoning for not fixing both 64 and 32.

<infinity> slashd: Lots of people run 64/32 multiarch and would benefit from fixing both.

<slashd> infinity, I'm fine with fixing 32bit, I proposed that approach cause apw wanted to self-contained the fix as much as possible

<infinity> That doesn't really contain it much. ;)

<slashd> infinity, so what if I do the same proposition but including 32-bit in stable release, would that work for you ?

<infinity> slashd: Conceptually, I have no issues with the plan (other than the "please do 32-bit too" comment).

<slashd> infinity, sure, I'm actually glad you are keen to see the 32-bit portion included

<infinity> slashd: Upload away, IMO.

<slashd> infinity, I'll then start the upload for Artful, note that starting next week I'll be gone for 2 weeks for sprints, and won't be able to do much testing, so do you think it's preferable we only start the SRU when I get back or we upload this week and worst case it will languish in -proposed for ~2weeks which will allow ppls to test with no stress (if any volunteer)

<infinity> slashd: I think letting it fester in proposed for two weeks to see if we get random negative feedback is entirely fine. Obviously, I'll delete/revert it if it breaks anything, but I don't need you around for that.

<infinity> slashd: 2 weeks of random user installations plus you executing a more precision test plan should give us solid confidence.
