Hiyas Julien, Having had a chat, (oh and the forum went wild over the dropping of i586 support),.
what I propose is that we support 10.04 as a LTS and not just a beta. The kernel will be supported for 5 years, it's down to the devs to decide if they will compile stuff for the LTS kernel. Obviously, you all know that ask that you do so; I do know it is a really small team but I think pcman will do his side, as for the lx team that would have to be asked. Regards, Phill.
