That is absolutly right and that's because i want to keep it simple. With the experience of the kernel devs it could be possible to select one certain stable kernel release from a certain period (2 until 6 months). And still again this is only a suggestion not a crying for "we must have this". As you i'm not interested that the devs have any unnecessarily work. Let me explain something about it from my personal view: I'm prepared for this worst case scenario. I have two working Boot CD's (Damm Small Linux and System Rescue CD), i know where this CD's are -) and i have a DHCP Server running to make it easier to find the relevant informations for my network as i boot from cd. And i have one custom kernel in reserve which i don't upgrade very often but is good enough to start X. So in such a case i can boot and i can surf in the web for the informations to solve my problems. An why i'm prepared? Not because i'm intelligent enough to know that this is even a good idea. It is because i have the personal experience how bad it is if you have not such things.-) That is the reason why i suggest to give users a help but if i'm on the false way with this thoughts, no problem because i'm definitive not perfect.
