Fedora 6: leave on 2.6.22 until end-of-life There are so many workarounds and backwards-compatibility issues in there that it just doesn''t seem worthwhile to upgrade. Fedora 7: update to 2.6.23 after Fedora 8 is released May as well update, the issues aren''t nearly so great and users will probably want the latest kernel.

And if it makes anyone feel any better, I''ve been running a rawhide ppc64 kernel on F7 base for a while now with no issues. josh

Seems 2.6.23 is 1-10 days away. So it we quickly ship it in updates-testing (and updates proper maybe a week or two after if not to many bugs show up there) for F7 we might hit and fix some more kernel bugs in F7-testing/F7 and get those fixes into the F8 kernel as well, which results in a better kernel for both F7 and F8.
