My 2 cent on this one: it might be a good idea to have test kernels for stuff like this that people can install on "Fedora (current)"; I for one would install them on some of my machines for testing purposes; I normally switch to rawhide only at test2 or test3. But well, maybe I'm and rare exotic kind or user, so maybe it's not worth the trouble. BTW, I have a proposal (written months ago but not yet send out) for a kind of testing rpeo in the scope of the fedora-project where we could do something like that. I'm actually willing to help once EPEL works. > [...] > Last minute breakage. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > The number one lesson I think to be learned was that just because > upstream -stable is called -stable, it isn't necessarily so. > The last minute rebase to 2.6.21.2 brought in the regression that > broke a lot of Dell laptops, and wasn't understood & fixed in time > for release. > > For F8 onwards, I propose that we don't jump to the latest upstream > stable release as a last minute thing.

HTH BTW, there is a lot of talk about the RHEL5 and the RL-kernel. See http://www.press.redhat.com/2007/06/05/emerging-technologies-developments-in-red-hat-enterprise-linux-realtime/ I suppose we are waiting for the bits to go upstream?
