How does it work out for you? Because I don't think that rebooting is an option on servers. If there are running http, mail, dns, etc. service(s) its not that great to reboot the system. Could you elaborate on the point you tried to make? Why is a feature frozen kernel/software a potential security issue? As far as I know major security issues get updated, so you just need to reload the modules, don't you? Or am I missing a point here? Because this is what most long term distributions do. As you don't expect a server to be in desperate need of new features and new supported hardware I personally don't think that the latest kernel is needed. What do the others think about it?
