The server-bigiron kernel has NR_CPUS set to 64, and is only trivially different from the -generic or -server kernels. 16 core machines are not prevalent enough (and certainly won't be) during Edgy's life-time.
I am not adverse to increasing NR_CPUS to 16 on Feisty's generic kernels though, will open a task and set wishlist.
