I imagine that the intention is to go to 2.6.29 on f10 at some point,
but there are still issues to fix before it is ready for general
release. For example one such issue that is now solved is that 2.6.29
uses a different version of squashfs to the one in f10, which meant that
things such as liveCDs would cease to work (this was solved by adding
the code for the earlier version of squashfs to 2.6.29), but there may
be other things that still need to be resolved.

I guess I'm wondering why so much effort is put into this when by the time the kernel gets released for f10 it is already outdated and we are moving towards a f12 release which will end the support for f10 anyway.

If f10 and/or kernel 2.6.29 is going to be the baseline for RHEL 6 then I could see why such an effort is made but other than that, why bother?
