I thought Redhat usually goes with LTS kernels like 2.6.27 no ?

No. Red Hat has to maintain a single kernel version for 7 to 10 years. Upstream is never going to do that.

I am not sure if I can ask the question but do you know what kernel the next EL of Redhat is going to be based on ? Is it 2.6.31 based as somebody above mentioned ?

Can't comment on that. There is no public information from Red Hat on that yet.
