	Well, I'd call those versions stable if there were ongoing bugfixes(if affected) backporting to it. Otherwise these are rather "outdated"versions.

That's _exactly_ what those trees are about: backporting bugfixes.
Let's call them stable then ;-)

	:-)
	According to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.16.62the last commit to this version was made at Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:48:10+0300. Looks like it's really stable ;-)
	BTW, several distros keep patching 2.6.18, that's a bit fresher; butanyway, there's a valuable gap between that stable and kernel.org'sadvertised one.
