Davidlohr's answer is correct: This is not an Ubuntu kernel. 3.13.y.z is an extended stable kernel which follows the same rules as the kernel.org official stable kernels. It contains no Ubuntu-specific patches, and supports the same arch's as mainline.

I was unsure as this is not hosted on kernel.org, I thought it was a Ubuntu specific kernel. So we have the following stable kernels as of now: 3.10, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15(for a few days), 3.16!
