Hi,

Further to my email, we discussed this request at the TB meeting this
evening[1]. The TB reached a conclusion and decided to decline making an
exception for this case, broadly for the reasons I already stated.
However, please note that the following options remain open to you, so
we believe you are not blocked:

1) You can use a PPA or resurrect the Canonical Partner archive or use
some other archive to meet your commercial needs. Seb and Michael have
offered to help you with this. However, this would be merely technical
help. We see no TB or other governance barrier to you implementing this.

2) If there are specific issues already landed in an existing release
that are not already addressed, we can consider those on a case by case
basis.

We appreciate the challenges of the quasi-main-archive situation you are
in at the moment. To avoid this happening again, let us be clear that
you must not submit SRUs for hardware enablements that have not been
already performed in the development release and all releases after the
target release, and certainly not without making any deviation clear in
all relevant documentation. This applies equally to kernel packages in
the main archive.

Thanks,

Robie

On behalf of the Technical Board.
