Why would you downgrade the kernel on a new distribution?

I think the disconnect occurs when a distribution takes a (current) kernel, does several months on QA, then releases it -- and in the meantime, a new mainline kernel has come out.

if the kernel supplied by the new distro doesn't work on your hardware.
for example, there was a big problem a few years ago with Intel drivers in a Ubuntu release not working for many people. That is a perfect example of where you would want to move to an older kernel to keep working.
