I apprciate that this bug has a significant impact for many. However we
have a QA process to test kernels before they get pushed out to
everyone, and it is always risky to skip this testing which is why we
rarely do it. In the case of the fix for this bug the changes required
are fairly substantial and should go through testing.

The kernel in zesty-proposed is exactly the same kernel that will be
released to -updates in a couple of weeks (assuming it passes QA, etc.)
so please do not hesitate to run this kernel. There is also a signed
kernel available in -proposed.
