waldi,
It'd probably help if you listed out more specific statements about
your suggested migrations. This way we can better understand the

For example:
Dropping 686-bigmem

- 686 flavour acquires PAE support
- Users with currently installed -686 systems somehow upgrade to the
486 flavour
Dropping k7
