Well, the kernel devs seem to change some interfaces rather often in binary incompatible ways. And sometimes even on purpose (to drive away blob-drivers like nvidia)... So it can be that one of these changes introduced a bug hard to find and affecting only very few drivers. And as the developers will probably all have the lastest kernels, they don't want to wast time by debugging a problem fixed two kernel versions ago just because the user has 2.6.4 installed and doesn't use a half decent distro...
