AWE SQL Server memory not supported in future releases

The SQL Server memory management Address Windowing Extensions (AWE)  is not supported in the next version of SQL Server.

It remains available in SQL Server 2008 R2 , but avoid using in current development work.

For me , this means adjusting build scripts for Standard Edition 32 bit installations.   If  the server has more than 4 GB memory on a 32 bit system , I enable AWE which grants more space for data cache.
