Now the snowball is rolling and it can take several directions.

1. The direction we want, that there will be bug-fixes, so that Celeron M and Pentium M CPUs will be accepted for PAE kernels from the very beginning of the installation :-)

2. A direction so that nothing happens to the Ubuntu code, maybe the most probable direction :-|

3. A direction I fear, that grub2 and/or the kernel module will close the loop-hole for fake-PAE. In that case we have to rely on flavours and respins built on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS lasting until April 2017, but without some modern features. Or tell the users to use another distro :-(

I hope it will roll in a favourable direction.
