The new update will (if validated) use 3.1.10 kernel, mainly because
this kernel had been tested in cooker for a couple months now.

2011 will be updated with recent kernels after good testing will be done
through cooker. Of course we'll check that the DKMS and other tools that
depends on the kernel ABI still work.

Perhaps we'll stop updating 2011 with kernel 3.2.x, so the backport work
remains sane but at least 2011 desktop users will use a recent kernel.
