On the subject of that, it may be worth making some noise about the fact 
that people on OMLx can now follow upstream kernels even before they're 
released - install the kernel-rc-desktop-latest and/or 
kernel-rc-server-latest packages, and you get the current kernel release 
candidates like any other update.

In the real world, only few people will make use of that (probably 
mostly people who have a mostly working system but are waiting for a 
specific part of their hardware to start working), but it may be 
exciting to the more technically minded people (and therefore newsworthy 
to the Linux sites...)

Of course this is only for Lx3, so again it's news that is kind-of 
blocked by not having the release out.
But then again, someone who wants to use a prerelease kernel should also 
be ok with installing a beta distro.
