Apples and oranges, you're talking about raw kernel.org tarballs, I'm 
talking about the 2.6 kernel as supplied by enterprise Linux vendors. To 
put it another way, as I mentioned in the post to which you are replying:

IOW, as an end user, if you are looking for stability, use the 2.6 
kernel that your vendor ships.

Hope this helps,
