Hardware Certification has been completed with linux 4.13.0-40.45 (bug 1766592). Setting certification-testing to 'Fix Released'.

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza (kleber-souza)]

Regression tests have been partially completed with linux 4.13.0-40.45 (bug 1766592). Setting regression-testing to 'Incomplete'.

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza (kleber-souza)]

Still missing regression results for i386, setting regression-testing to 'Fix Released' so the release can proceed without it.

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza (kleber-souza)]

There are a few bugs that haven't been verified yet, however, they are mostly related to fixing hardware issue and have low regression potential. Given that, I'm setting verification-testing to 'Fix Released' so the release can proceed.
