If that fallback is working, then I guess that's fine. (Though I'm not 
speaking for the whole Working Group here... perhaps others expect it 
to always work, I'm not sure.)

But if Negativo users start complaining that their computers don't boot 
anymore, then we'll definitely need to stop doing major kernel updates 
("taking the entire distro hostage" I guess) as the Negativo support is 
important for product strategy. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
