Stop speculating, I'm one developing kernel for maemo devices and I use
recent kernel on my devices, for developing/debugging/testing purposes.
Most of our development is done together with linux-omap community.

And that's called stable tree:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.24.y.git;a=summary
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y.git;a=summary

Did you see greg's talk about the kernel development process ? Really,
do it.
