[Bug 1498059] Re: hwe-support-status should be included in newer releases

[Brian Murray]

The hardware enablement code is more than just the hwe-support-status
command line tool.  Changes were also made to update-manager to warn
when the currently installed and running HWE stack is no longer
supported.  The dialog can be seen in the attached screenshot.  These
changes should also be included in newer releases.
