Every time we do this, users need to recompile any extra modules they use. We change the kernel version only when the module ABI changes, and we try to avoid such changes. With lenny we are the only distribution using 2.6.26 and we have had difficulty in getting fixes for bugs. The stable update series for 2.6.26 ended long ago. However, with squeeze we will use 2.6.32 which will also be used in Ubuntu and Red Hat long-term supported releases. We hope that this will result in most important bugs being fixed quickly.
