In my case, I have an Athlon XP-M and the cpufreq modules don't work with a SMP system, so I have to recompile the kernel, the ndiswrapper modules and my webcam module every time a new kernel gets out. It would be great if we could have a non-SMP kernel, although I know it would mean extra work and having duplicate packages for the SMP and non-SMP kernels.
Anyway, I will still be using arch even if nothing happens.
