I intend to do that. Kernel's removed from automatic updates.
We'll agree to disagree about the importance of not breaking an
officially supported kernel filesystem on an automated upgrade because
only a "few" of us are affected. Keep in mind this is not an
unsupported XFS that someone hijacked my thread with. I say there is
little in a new kernel that the "rest" of the users cannot wait 2-3
lousy days for. Wanna stretch it to a week to meet your statement of
"earliest", I can live with that and my statement still stands. And, I
do realize this is not centos's fight, I guess my complaint is with
RedHat in this case, they should be more responsible than that. If M$
took that policy and released official upgrades they knew would break
even a small percentage of their users, especially something as critical
as the very filesystem that your entire user data resides on, we (the
linux community) would be throwing them under the rug for it.
