Hi Phill,

I'm afraid you did not understand my email correctly. This is not what I
was expecting :)

BACK to archive: "we keep Lubuntu 10.04 because the drop of hardware
support and some hardware will not work with other releases".

FUTURE: one day, some other hardware will NOT be supported.

That in short is what my first email is talking about.
Long story? my first email will tell you in details :)

Is that clear enough now?
