...and when a change this large introduces new bugs into the old and
new implementations?  This is desirable in a 'stable' kernel?

"Stable" does not mean "only do things we're 95% sure won't break the
universe."  See the recent flamewar on linux-kernel...  *recent*
immediately relevant changes to stable kernels that resulted in 'a few
missed details' caused alot of heartache.  For example, all of my IDE
code broke on 2.0.34 due to 'an insignificant change' that resulted in
'a missed detail'.

Don;t play with fire around stable kernels.
