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.

See you, Attila
