@ddstreet, sforshee: Thanks for the replies. Given that this also affects LTS installations that use the HWE stack, shouldn't this have as high a priority as critical security issues? I'd consider this a critical usability issue; there are tons of people running LTS, particularly on servers, for exactly the reason that it is "always" stable. Needless to say this is a bit of an outlier considering Ubuntu's overall good track record.
I understand that testing 4.10.0-22 takes time; one could conceivably apply a hotfix to 4.10.0-21?
As far as my own testing is concerned, I've been using my personal laptop for work today (instead of my 16.04 work laptop) with the kernel from zesty-proposed, and no issues so far.
