Joerg is correct here.

"Andrew's vision, as expressed at the summit, is that the mainline
kernel will be the fastest and most feature-rich kernel around, but
not, necessarily, the most stable. Final stabilization is to be
done by distributors (as happens now, really), but the distributors
are expected to merge their patches quickly."
This quote basically applies to all 2.6.* kernels. I stopped building
my own Linux kernels from source a couple years ago. It's just not
worth the pain.
