Deprecated is probably a poor choice of words, but if you are indeed
bringing up a new platform, doing so on the newest Kernel you can find
will ensure that bringing in newer changes from the time you begin
your work will be easier.

The L-O tree is already about 2.6.30, so you're essentially 3
revisions out and you're just setting yourself up for a bunch of work
to port numerous changes into your Kernel.

And as Greg KH would probably say, 5 months in Kernel development land
is a really long period of time. :)
