Hi,

I always prefer to think and plan ahead and I'm sure you all agree this is
a good idea. "Better safe than sorry" :)

Having that said, I'm sure you all know that we are in 2013 and Linux
Kernel starting from series 3.xx and later, started to drop the support for
some hardware. Day after day, the dropping will increase, no doubt about it.

DO NOT worry, I'm not trying to create any issue over here. In fact, I'm
trying to discuss this right here, right now because again, better safe
than sorry and better to think ahead better than wait until something
happens.

1- What will Lubuntu do (as a team - all of us) if after X
days/months/years, new releases of Lubuntu can no longer be installed on
the same hardware that version 13.04/13.10 will support?

2- Are we considering each and every option? did we see that coming? are we
ready?

3- Some may think this is too early to be discussed but IMHO, this is the
right time so can we discuss that professionally?

And that is all for now :)

And that won't be the one and only dropping, IMHO.
They are moving too fast, really fast!
