This is a large upstream change landing very late in the cycle, which is not ideal in terms of risk. I've reviewed the FFe request, and:
 - it addresses compatibility with the current kernels that we are releasing with in 16.10, which is pretty fundamental.
 - it contains some packaging changes, whose impact I have reviewed (some new dependencies added, but all of these are already in the server ISO with the exception of avahi-utils, which at 24k is trivially small).
 - this release has undergone install, upgrade, and workload testing upstream prior to upload.

Granting the FFe, with the understanding that there is no second chance to get this right on the release ISO if this version is broken.
