You said it yourself :P.  You guys are pushing EC2 based kernels and
images.  I push a lot of Xen based Ubuntu images to high profile
clients.  With a lot of these providers now bringing Ubuntu and Xen with
PV-Grub (Rackspace, Linode, VPS.Net and plenty of others those are just
the big three) a lot of users will opt to install Ubuntu maintained
kernels [through pv-grub ~ two of those companies on that list do boot
with pv-grub by default if I remember right] because it's generally
faster than a provider based paravirt kernel that has been patched [by
faster I mean security updates ~ not speed of course.] Most users won't
care or [notice] that it affects them, but those of us who notice do
care for them.

I prefer a clean system, and I hope Ubuntu takes that stance too, and an
uneeded package makes an unclean and [strictly subjective] unoptimised
system IMO. That is my justification for it, it doesn't have to be high,
I would just like to see it fixed in the next kernel update [if at all
possible and easily done].

I know my thoughts are scattered and probably only understood by me
because I have a rather chaotic mind that goes 50 different ways with a
single subject but I hope you at least understand a little of what I
said, enough to get what I basically mean.
