Ever bothered to look at RHEL 5 (5.4) kernel? You'll get an impression, it's not quite 2.6.18 anymore.

Yes, I appreciate that, it was embedded within my question:
"With the rapid pace of Kernel development how long can Red Hat feasibly stick with 2.6.18?"

They can keep calling the RHEL kernel 2.6.18 indefinitely.

Yeah. It's so much not 2.6.18 that most things that are designed to compile with a genuine 2.6.18 will outright fail.
