The "last-commit" date for this cycle was 11-Nov. Since 18.04.4 will switch the HWE kernel from 5.0 to 5.3, backporting these changes to the 5.0 branch would be of no benefit to Ubuntu LTS. Therefore, setting the Ubuntu-18.04-hwe target to Ubuntu-18.04.4.
Each of these commits were introduced upstream in v5.3. v5.3 will be the new HWE base kernel for 18.04.4.
Note that the current SRU cycle is targeted for 18.04.4: /lists. ubuntu. com/archives/ kernel- sru-announce/ 2019-October/ 000158. html
