Most kernel-image-2.6.10 packages (ppc, s390, hppa, alpha, amd64) are
stuck in NEW since the beginning of the year, I personally would not
call this a replacement.

with kernel-source-2.6.10 version 2.6.10-5 amd64 SMP systems got broken.
I am still investigating, it currently looks like
083-x86_64_switch_mm_context_race.dpatch and
084-smp_nmi_watchdog_race.dpatch introduced the breakage.

Yes, it can be dropped. 

As long als the NEW queue gets finally processed and all 2.6.10 packages
are added to the distribution.
