Hi Tim,
this was about being prepared. It can be solution to make things more accessible for experiments and development work as I stated initially. I'd never (hope to) expect it to be used in productive environments.

One might argue, that if someone wants to get that far he could also build his own kernel. But then you could say that to about everything we package :-)

So I thought since it really doesn't change anything without the kernel parm set we could provide it for the ease of Ubuntu users experimenting in that area.
It also can ease testing since your environment just doesn't have to have so much special HW constraints.
But if you still don't like it I can - for now - live with a refusal and we might wait until someone with a more tangible need for it comes up.
