@felix-justdust, 12.04 does not have a livecd with nonpae kernel but it has the kernel package in repo. So, who uses it gets the updates. 12.10 does not include the nonpae kernel anymore. If anyone wants to fix 12.04 the same way, he must also recompile the kernel for nonpae machines and maintain it whenever canonical release a new kernel.
