I would like to do some tests with the latest ubuntu on my old amd-k6 (wich
runs Lubuntu 10.04 perfectly) but support for that CPU it's been dropped :(

Then again, it's NOT only for the people who have a voice here: it's the
users that have one of those pc wich want to use it and CAN'T

It's a shame that an OS intended for old hardware can't run on hardware
that can run it :(

EVEN if it's 5% of the target machines... 5% of a huge number is still a
huge number.

Plus, there's no modern OS that can run there...

OK, *maybe* some very oldl machines should be renewed... but there are
people without the capability of doing so.

AND i don't understand, the code is there... what's the benefit of cutting
it?

Just what i think about dropping support of any hardware.
