Hello,

Thank you for your flexibility over this matter. I realize that some
details about CUDA are missing from this thread (this is my bad), I'll
add them to avoid any surprise.

- Every CUDA minor version is a new set of ~37 packages. There is a minor 
version every 3 months on average. The next release is expected this month.
- We will keep adding the next minor versions of CUDA following Ubuntu's 
policy, first to latest, then backport, up until Resolute.
- Every CUDA minor version gets 3 patches on average [1]. Given the prebuilt 
nature of CUDA, I will submit a SRU exception request to be able to backport 
these patchs.

I hope these details give everyone more context about what is this
particular release, when the next one will come, etc.

As for moving into regular FHS paths, we keep pushing NVIDIA to do so. We did 
try to make them accept it for this release, which they refused. We suggested a 
compromise, a temporary symlink approach, which they rejected too. 
They did say they agree to work on that, but their next window for delivering 
such an update is their next major release. Their plan is not to break CUDA on 
a minor release. The next major release is expected in at least a year, if not 
two. This means that every 13.x CUDA packages will require the FHS exception. 
We will continue pushing for 14.x to be compliant.
