We have a bunch of new hardware here at Fermilab on which the 2.6.32
series of kernels that come with EL6/SL6 is no longer stable and we are
looking for
an upstream-supported 3.x kernel. that will hopefully be the big win for
us.

There are enough significant layout differences, especially the
wholesale switch to systemd and the replacement of "/bin" with a
symlink to "/usr/bin" that it's going to create a lot of cross
compatibility and software porting issues. I'm not looking forward to
that part. I'm also afraid to see that I've not yet seen a single
reason to *want* it, other than updated libraries for third party
software such as perl modules.
