AFAIK all kernel.org releases can now be considered "development grade", 
of interest to developers, integrators and brave beta testers. For 
production use, the normal practice is to run a linux distribution from 
a vendor. The vendor kernels are carefully patched and subjected to 
rigorous testing, so the vendors can certify and support their 
enterprise distributions.

Disclaimer: for specific tux issues with 2.6, Ingo will be able to offer 
more insight...
