<pre wrap="">
not to worry, 12.04.2 has an avoidance patch for that:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Secure-Boot-comes-to-Ubuntu-12-04-2-LTS-1804203.html">http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Secure-Boot-comes-to-Ubuntu-12-04-2-LTS-1804203.html</a>
"Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS also updates the release's Linux kernel to a version based on the 3.5.7.2 upstream kernel and a matching X.org version. This kernel release includes the workaround for the UEFI bug that caused a number of Samsung laptops to be bricked; this workaround makes it less likely that Samsung laptops will be damaged, but an actual fix depends on Samsung updating its firmware."

So there should be no reason to go ahead and release this latest RC2
as final, as you suggested.<br>
