You know, there is nothing holding you back from not updating kernels,

kernels that have been built before it are available, and should
continue to be until EOL (well, forever actually if you just keep a copy
for yourself).
Right now I let yum keep just the two kernel entries and hopefully am
not running the fc9 version while running yum. I periodically grab the
latest version of a Fedora 8 version of the kernel to ensure relative
advancements and security patches are applied. If the version was
upgraded to .24 instead of maintaining the currently available .23
version I would loose out on bug fixes and security fixes unless I
personally back ported the fixes. Also there is nothing preventing
someone from running an f9 kernel on an earlier version operating
system. I realize nash and mkinitrd might need upgraded also for proper
kernel installation.
It doesn't make sense to me to hold off on application improvements and
only want newer based kernels. I see that these type of individuals
exist so I'll live with the different philosophical differences in
approach to kernel and applications.
