No, it doesn't work that way. An "exception" here would set back the
release by a whole week, due to the time involved in integrating kernel
changes and validating the resulting images. We aren't going to do that for
a single piece of hardware that's supported on a best effort basis - this is
entirely suitable for fixing in a post-release update.

There are many netbooks that aren't affected by this problem. Some of them
are sold with Ubuntu pre-installed.
