I personally don't see any complication. If truth to be told, this is a great and happy news for those users. Please, we all need to understand that we are talking about REALLY old machines here and we are in 2013 as of today. Let's look at it from a positive point of view. They will still be able to carry on with their installation until 2015 as per this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
So, they need to be happy rather than sad ;) I hope I explained that well :) Thanks!
