Is the kernel development process broken?
I'd much rather if they periodically 'froze' some 2.6 version, so we'd get 2.6.10.x, and that'd be updated until it, and a replacement version, reached stability
That is just what major distribution makers do. They pick some kernel as baseline (presumably after evaluating it for stability) and keep patching it
until the next revision of the distro is released, and even after that in
distributions (like RHEL) that have a long supported lifetime.
