It should be removed. [Test Case] Inspect the /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news script and verify that uptime is no longer used. Previous version: $ grep uptime /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news # Some messages may only be pertinent before or after some amount of uptime read up idle < /proc/uptime uptime="uptime/$up/$idle" USER_AGENT="curl/$curl_ver $lsb $platform $cpu $uptime cloud_id/$cloud_id" Updated version: $ grep uptime /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news (no output) [Regression Potential] The server side, if it were checking this value, could be surprised by this change. [Other Info] N/A [Original Description] I don't why that was included but it shouldn't be. Please remove it.
