Well, i personally agree to what Collins said in the first mail. I really do think that the problems with the (supposedly) less-stable 2.6 kernels less common.
And people, how did you come to the conclusion that mostly "kernel-knowedgeable" people use the 2.6 series?? I mean, i don't think of myself as Mr Lamer, i can't hack the kernel in one afternoon either (that was probably a bit uptight, but i hope you get the picture). I think that the main reason why to use the 2.6 kernel is the performance increase especially in X, and the overall speed and i daresay stability. And unless someone really plans to do weird shit with the kernel, i doubt he will come across some significant problems...
