well yes, the list of patches to 2.6.18 will keep growing as long as redhat maintains it.

but (other than the initial set (which is what I was referring to above) almost all of the patches are patches _from_ the upstream kernel, so there is nothing to try to push upstream.

you must not remember the bad old days (in the 2.4/2.5 kernel era) where redhat had so many patches to their kernel that they were becoming incompatible with other distros due to all the 'extra' stuff that they included.
