The kernel update is not specific to the rpi2, the summary makes no sense at all

Try Raspbian instead of Ubuntu on the Pi - then add systemd for even faster boot times.
Alternatively, try putting Ubuntu on the Apple watch and report back how fast it is then.

distros get security updates all the time, without articles.
I came here expecting to find that Ubuntu had partnered with the r-pi foundation to produce a range of smartphones for the Ubuntu touch platform using the innards of a raspberry pi SoC with blob-free firmware (no libhybris) following the reverse engineering efforts of Videocore and the like. (much like TI hoped to attract developer interest with the Beagleboard when OMAP ruled the smartphone landscape)
Now *that* would be newsworthy.

What should be done is to produce an open-source, fully accelerated graphics driver.
I like the Pi and Pi2 but this graphics architecture really needs to be opened up.
