Probably because it's not right in the Makefile, as you noted. Remember,
odd minor versions (2.1.x, 2.3.x, etc.) are development kernels and are
almost guaranteed to have problems. Personally, i'm going to stay with
2.2.x until 2.4 or 3.0, whichever comes first.
Feel free to use 2.3.x if you want, and if you do make sure to report all
bugs and problems to the kernel developers so they can be fixed! And
backup regularly in case something does break badly...
