Hi Gorka,

Just wanted to give you a quick update.  As of today, this issue was
escalated in our kernel team and they will look into whether or not this has
unintended consequences or not and decide on whether to change the setting
in our kernel builds.  I'll ping you again when I have more news.

-Brian

P.S. The first Beta of Maverick just dropped which is when we start
migrating packages.  Are you interested in having Openbravo in the maverick
partner repo or just stick with LTS releases?
