i don't see this correlation as it is easy to revert back to old IDE
instead of PATA for the etch kernel.
according to dannf the target kernel wouldn't be 2.6.23 (fedora 8)
but a later kernel when oldstable no longer receives security
support. so that would mean scheduling that change very late in the
release process of lenny!?

agreed it's a userspace trouble, so leave it to the user :P
no seriously the debian-installer team needs to be too in the loop
as they would need to sync the decision too for newly installed boxes.
