[Bug 1508565] Re: maas uses 3.13 (hwe-t) kernel which does not work on non-virtual IBM power

[Jon Grimm]

WRT option c (lie about LTS kernel):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1508565/comments/3

Can a MaaS customer still get the hwe-t kernel through manual steps if
desired?

What are consequences to support on hwe-u?  Are they know forced up to
16.04 sooner (since hwe-u does not have lifetime of hwe-t)?


WRT option b (delete LTS kernel in stream): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1508565/comments/4

>> iii. Users who were happy with hwe-t (kvm guests) will need manual
action

Or anyone wanting to recreate specific certification needs to know what the point in time kernel was... 
That being said, it seems like this is a fairly short window.  hwe-w is here, so we'll only move from hwe-w to hwe-x and then back to normal.   And only affects P8, where the intersection of MaaS + KVM/P8 seems likely a low number of affected users.
