Yes, this is correct. I can also confirm that the Ubuntu kernel team is picking the 3.16 kernel for the 14.10 release. As usual, we will continue to do the stable maintenance of this kernel once Greg drops its support. As Ben already said, we will support it for roughly 18 months (until the 14.04.2 point-release). Obviously, it would be great to see Debian and Ubuntu sharing a stable kernel, and I would be more than happy to help making that possible. Cheers, -- Luís
