I think it's more a matter of taste/comfort. I hate running a kernel that's more than 6 months old, since I'm often aware of problems fixed during that time, etc. if your distro has only a 2.4 kernel, for instance, IMO, you are losing quite a lot. if your distro has a 2.6.9 kernel, you're still missing, for instance, sata smart support.
Note that with some distros, the base kernel version has less meaning than you think as it's so heavily patched. RHEL4 has, yes, a kernel labeled 2.6.9. But, to counter your example, it also (as of U2 (or was it U3?)) supports SATA SMART.
