2.6.30.1 is the recommended stable kernel by
upstream - are there
plans to make this available for f10 and f11 ?? Both f10
and f11 are
more lagging than the past it seems - probably with the
release of f11.
I didnt find much in koji ...
As per linux-kernel mailing list:
1) 2.6.29.6
****NOTE****
This is the last release of the 2.6.29 kernel series.
All users are
strongly suggested to move to the 2.6.30 release series at
this time.
************
2) announcing the release of the 2.6.30.1 kernel.
All users of the
2.6.30 kernel series are very strongly encouraged to
upgrade.

I hear you and I am applying the patch from 2.6.30 to 2.6.30.1 as of now.

I think that sums it up, with any new release there will be a surge of issues,
most minor, as new users migrate. Better to fix most of these before adding the
features of a new kernel to the mix.
I don't know the exact reasons, but I understand where you are coming from
and I agree with you. Is Fedora countering the saying "Latest and Greatest"? I

Remember that "latest" and "greatest" are not synonyms, there were many changes
in 2.6.30, and a little time for shakeout is a good thing. People are just
getting used to ext4, adding a number of new filesystem types is likely to cause
more questions, and probably will mean updates of the utilities for the
filesystems as well.
I think Fedora is moving at the right speed on this one, you can build your own,
or pull from testing, or rawhide, or koji, depending on your tolerance for
learning experiences.
