This will lead to users trying to fix their broken systems most likely ending up with more problems, since without they knowing it, they will be booting into an 2.6 test-kernel :-( And this is definately an installer bug since all contrib kernels are using -L parameter with /sbin/installkernel, and installing a 2.6 kernel _after_ a newly installed system has been rebooted into, won't trigger this behaviour....
