Well I'm not sure if it's RCN camped out too close to the eggnog or me sitting too close to the mulled wine, but happy holidays regardless! :)
Seriously, the issues with the BeagleBone and kernels goes back to before the Linus device-tree rant: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/55060 ...and the 'Bone community (and the rest of the ARM ecosystem) has been trying to deal with the fall-out ever since. I think with the conversion to using device-tree, and the acceptance of device-tree changesets into mainline, things are _finally_ going to stabilize (fingers crossed!), but there's still probably a bit of churn we'll have to live through for the near term.
