You mean, ordinary users don't care about security? Because that's one of the advantages that PAE brings.

You're right, they don't care, we have to care for them.

The fall-out from this going onto the livecd makes me shudder.

You're pushing out a development problem to the users.

The original argument that many machines have 4GB of memory is simply
false.

My ~3yo home box has 4GB. I'm not an ordinary user (or it would be a computer, not a "box"), but I don't think you can claim 4GB is rare.

Manufacturers aren't shipping anything more than 2GB on
desktops at most unless you have oodles of money to throw at a
Alienware box or something. Sure, servers come with more but Fedora is
not really a reality for a long term server O.S

Servers should use x86_64 anyway. But I strongly disagree about penalizing the future to cater for the past.
