We currently have version 4.9.144-2 in proposed-updates while the
stretch branch in git is based on 4.9.150.

There is a regression in ceph, introduced in 4.9.144 and fixed in
4.9.150 (commit 90b7f9481243).  We should fix this before the point
release.

There is another regression in spinlocks on x86, introduced in 4.9.147
and fixed in 4.9.153 (commit 4b527f25a4ac).  We should fix this if we
update to 4.9.150.

As there isn't much time left before the point release, I am inclined
to make one more upload based on 4.9.144 that just fixes the ceph
regression and any other known recent regressions.

Does anyone want to argue for updating further?

Does anyone know of other regressions between 4.9.130 and 4.9.144?

Ben.
