My two cents as a developer for Ubuntu though with my coredev hat on: This SRU is premature. This functionality is *not* enabled in Kinetic (which would be a requirement - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure 3.1.). Further, this cannot be enabled in Kinetic until the MIR is completed.

However, knowing the Security team's backlog and other developers' backlogs whose job it is to handle the MIRs, it's possible the fstrm MIR will not complete before FeatureFreeze on August 25th. As a result of that, this SRU wouldn't be eligible for review until L-series.

Given however that this is not available in Kinetic, I don't believe this is ready for SRU. I won't close this bug, but I will put this info out there for the SRU team to keep in mind.
