Well, I twisted the truth a little, but what I said was sort of true.
Before Fedora ships a new package in its standard "updates" repository, it
undergoes some testing, and in the meantime, you can get it from the
official "updates-testing" repository.
So if you can't wait a few more days for Fedora's testing process to finish
(like I couldn't wait because I wanted to access my old PATA disk...)
updating your Fedora to use the 2.6.23 is as trivial as typing
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel
See the announcements of the new kernel package here:

(actually, since then, there's a new one:
