Hi Release team,

I have raised an MP. Please let me know if there is a way to test the
change.

https://code.launchpad.net/~ravi-sharma/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu-seeds/+merge/467528

I am planning to write a short discourse post on
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/foundations/25 and send a message on
#ubuntu-flavors.

Cheers!
Ravi
