You mean something like "F7 kernel for F6" ? The problem with that is the slew of userspace updates that would have been necessary. The initrd changes alone were pretty extensive. I *still* get the creeps about changing /dev/hda -> /dev/sda in a yum update. It works for most people, but I've been burnt by it, and I know some users have. For massive changes like that, it wouldn't really have helped much. Booting the livecd and having a "yes, I can see my hard disks" report from users would have had more value I think than reports from hybrid FC6 w/F7 bits systems. > BTW, there is a lot of talk about the RHEL5 and the RL-kernel.
