Hiyas, I'm also sending, as opposed to CC'ing, Julien just to check that my AFAIK is correct.
Canonical decided to cease support for 'non-pae' chipsets. We did have a fairly lively discussion on the subject as to being able to continue to support such chip-sets. The answer that came back was that the decision was final. Our only recourse would be to back-port to our releases that fully supported such chip-sets, which was before our adoption. Quite simply, yes we would love to back-port to 10.04 and support it, but we cannot give 12.04 as an LTS either - *we simply do not have enough people who are able to do so.* Honest, just as we are doing with ppc on this release - we ARE trying, but there are simply not enough people to be able to sort out back-porting. I'm sure Julien will correct me on any points that I am wrong on. sadly, Phill.
