Ubuntu precise did ship in the end with aufs:

~# modprobe -v aufs
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic/kernel/ubuntu/aufs/aufs.ko

However, it was removed for quantal, which ships kernel v3.5:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-quantal.git;a=commitdiff;h=d38cbebe93dd4f4accc737b240826f103109c27a

Given serious problems listed at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs?field.searchtext=overlayfs, I would like to ask the ubuntu kernel maintainers to reconsider shipping aufs for now.

For our site here (student lab at uni-erlangen), bug #1039402 is quite serious as it hinders the rollout and testing of quantal for our lab.
