“in the last six months, our kernel team have shipped more security patches than in the prior 20 years of Ubuntu. And so that's not an excuse for the vulnerability that we missed and perhaps were less timely than people would have liked.”

…One of the interesting stories that I heard from our kernel team, we've all just come back from two weeks in Mexico. We had a product roadmap sprint followed by an engineering sprint where we took over 1,100 engineers to a place in Mexico, which is kind of wild. The whole company was only 500 when I joined five years ago. But there was an interesting statistic presented to me, which was that in the last six months, our kernel team have shipped more security patches than in the prior 20 years of Ubuntu. And so that's not an excuse for the vulnerability that we missed and perhaps were less timely than people would have liked. But it is to try and give some confidence that the machine, the machine is being built and the machine is mostly working.
