unless there really is something specific in the new kernel i wouldn't
upgrade unless you're feeling adventerous. the highest kernels i run on
production machines is 2.2.10 it'll be a good 6 months i think before i
choose a newer kernel rev.(my most important ones still use 2.0)

2.2.9 -> 2.2.10 would be a good upgrade probably though.  i have noticed
nothing worth while in anything past 2.2.10(feature wise or stability
wise, infact .11 -> .13 had some pretty serious problems for some users)
