Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) progress

Matthieu Clemenceau has published
a status update from the Foundations Team on Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) development to the Ubuntu Discourse forum. This includes updates on Ubuntu's adoption of Dracut as an alternative to initramfs-tools, a move to a single ISO for arm64 devices rather than device-specific images, and reverting the planned O3 optimization flags for Plucky Puffin. Earlier in this cycle, we announced plans to enable the O3 optimization level for all Ubuntu packages by default. As part of this effort, we conducted extensive benchmarking, which revealed that while some workloads saw improvements, overall system performance slightly declined, and binary sizes increased. Given these results, we are likely to revert this change soon. The beta for Ubuntu 25.04 is planned for March 27, with the final release scheduled on April 17.
