It is only fair if the compared distros have the same release cycle. So comparing Ubuntu with Fedora is just fine, they release every 6 month. Other wise the time of the experiement is just arbitrary and will effectively disfavor distributions with longer release cycles that don't shipp newer linux-2.6.

They for example didn't test Red Hat or CentOS.
