I see it both ways. It is self-contained in that it's strictly the kernel without affecting user space at all. But it's system-wide in that it does affect the distribution, it's effectively dropping the hardware support for an entire architecture. But anyway, dropping i686 kernel is not a surprise to me, this has been a rather long leadout train. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
