I think the reason is because is good for stable series take a few bits from latest kernel code for prevent obsolete and/or very old drivers. I know this have some risks of generating more bugs in stable kernel, but in many times, has been made backports without so much resistance ;) -- Ramón Rey Vicente jabber ID ------------------------------------------------------------ gpg public key ID 0xBEBD71D5 # http://pgp.escomposlinux.org/
