CentOS - Oct 2005 - 4.2 upgrade and kernels

Just curious about kernel requirements after the upgrade. I've been
running the 2.6.9-11.106.unsupported kernel for some time. Now I see
that the base kernel is up to 2.6.9-22.EL.

Are there any plans to upgrade the unsupported kernel?
Should I be using the newer kernel after the upgrade?
Does it make any difference?

Not trying to be pushy; just looking for information.

Thanks for all the good work, and tons of it.

      the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not
      smart enough to debug it.

Yes - I am working on it today :)

Maybe - If you did not exclude the kernel from [base] and [updates] per
the instructions here:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.2/centosplus/Readme.txt

Then yes, you will have the newer kernel ... that is not a centosplus
kernel.

Maybe - If you needed something in the CentOS Plus kernel (ntfs,
reiserfs, xfs, video4linux, appletalk, etc.) then that is probably no
longer functioning.

You're welcome :)
