Heh, support ended in April but this gets pushed out in May.

Didn't even have the virtio-net NAPI patch in it.

Would have clobbered my few remaining Karmic systems that depend on that patch. Except my OpsCode Chef management didn't push the update.

I updated my PPA with virtio-net NAPI patch for 9.10 today.
