Canonical’s announced a major shift in its kernel selection process for future Ubuntu releases. An “aggressive kernel version commitment policy” pivot will see it ship the latest upstream kernel code in development at the time of a new Ubuntu release.

Even if it’s just a release candidate, I’m wondering how this change might affect desktop users. Could this mean fewer boot issues? I ran into an issue booting from a live usb where the kernel version didn’t properly support my ZFS setup, leading to a system hang during startup and was wondering if an RC kernel was even needed for desktop use.
