Comment 109 for bug 204996

Sadly, that's our experience. 2.6.18 is the last kernel, which has been released as part of a stable (stable as we mean it, not ubuntu-stable) Linux distribution, namely debian-etch and RHEL5. Since 2.6.20 we've seen not a single kernel, which survived more than 1 day on our servers.

Even more sadly we expect, that this bug will be removed by either redhat, Novell or debian in an effort to release a new enterprise-level distribution.
