It is very rare that one is pushed directly to stable. You can use 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel' (or similar commands) to only update the kernel from updates testing if you wish. Then you provide karma in Bodhi. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
