Most users are best served to stick with the latest kernel *from their
distro*. It's only the developers and the distro maintainers that need
to worry about tracking the latest kernel.
Of course there are a lot of enthusiasts that do it as well, but there
has been a caveat for quite a while that if you track the bleeding edge,
you really should be on the mailing lists so that you know what's going
on and which issues might bite you.
There is a cost to maintaining features in the kernel, even something
like multiple stack sizes. Whenever you have a config option, you need
to worry about making sure that everything works both ways. This takes
time and resources. There's always going to be a push to simplify things.
