I guess I'm wondering why so much effort is put into this when by the

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?
f10 has still 7 or 8 months to run. f9 is the version that will be
obsoleted soon, and that isn't being updated to 2.6.29. There is a good
chance that 2.6.30 will be out before f12 is released.
That's really my point. 2.6.30 will be out soon so 2.6.29 will be outdated
again. What is the motivation of putting this much work into a kernel that
will be outdated when released and only have a shelf-life of 7 or 8 months.
Is there some critical feature in there that makes 2.6.29 so much better
than 2.6.27 to warrant this much effort for so little gain?

Dennis
