Thanks, Don. Can you review the updated text in bug 1160213? Is this the correct link to the update: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2016-0464.html ? (I think we should mention it as well).
jshortt and dbayly have both requested a review of the i40e update, in particular before republishing.

(In reply to Lenka Spackova from comment #11) > kpatch change published: > https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/ > html/7.2_Release_Notes/kernel.html Lenka, thanks. This is exactly what the PE team wanted to do -- not let the i40e issue hold up posting the kpatch update.
The information about the i40e and i40evf drivers being fully supported, including the details, has been published: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/7.2_Release_Notes/networking.html
