new kernels may have new bugs, but they also fix a lot of old bugs.

yes, most bugs that are being fixed were introduced durng the 2.6 days, that could be because there have been more lines of code writen for 2.6 then for all prior kernels combined (I don't know that for sure, but with the pace of development that's happening in 2.6 I would not at all be surprised)
