[ec2-beta] Using latest kernel in Europe?

[Robin Skoglund]

I'm just chiming in to say that I know a couple of people (including myself)
who would like to have the AMIs etc. available in eu-west-1 region.
Actually, I still haven't used the official Ubuntu AMI since it isn't
available in EU yet.

Regarding separate AMIs for US/EU:
There should be a mirror for packages in both US and EU, and the US and EU
AMIs should use those mirrors respectively as the default sources. If the
mirrors are too far ahead in time, how about using
eu.archive.ubuntu.comuntil they are ready?
