[Bug 897786] Re: Kernel is dropping non-PAE flavour

[Austin L.]

Is the non-PAE kernel really that much of a hastle to deal with that it
needs to be dropped? Isn't there some way to support non-PAE machines?

I have an IBM ThinkPad T42 (2373-JXU) that will be out in the cold if
PAE is no longer supported, and since the used laptop market is flooded
with T40s, T41s, and T42s, I could see this turning off a lot of people.
I know I'll be very displeased if my 15" 1400x1050 IPS display-equipped
T42 isn't supported by 12.10 and onward.
