Description Ross Burton 2018-04-10 09:40:20 UTC 
The stress recipe that we're shipping is dead upstream.  Ubuntu has a new implementation stress-ng:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/cking/stress-ng.git/

This is actively maintained (last commit was days ago at the time of writing) so if we keep stress should we switch to this?

Or switch to this and move it to meta-benchmarking?
