"Maverick (10.10) is not really worth fixing"

Why is that?  There's still seven months to go.

I have this -exact- (quota) problem with a 10.10 Amazon EC2 instance
(2.6.35-24-virtual i386/i686, I don't have the ami & aki to hand)

It seems it wouldn't be that difficult to roll quota* into the next
kernel -virtual update for 10.10?

At present, I can't see what the valid workaround is.  Apparently:

* -server doesn't have the right Xen bits for Amazon EC2
* -ec2 is the "old" Amazon EC2 kernel and we should be using -virtual from now 
on

This leaves me with -: roll our own (obviously more work and not future
proofed) or do a complete in place upgrade to 11.04?

I would appreciate views on what the valid workaround is.

I can see how you might want to drop hardware specific drivers or
obscure functionality but there seems to have been some pretty rampant
pruning done for -virtual all around.  It doesn't take much Googl'ing to
find at least a couple of bug reports showing the dropping of nfs
related stuff, modules relating to character sets that I would have
thought were 'core' OS.
