Latest is not always better :) I still find 2.6.32 the best!
Perhaps those targets which need an older kernel should reference the open bugs *in* their target.mk, so that anyone attempting to update to a newer kernel would be able to easily find them and check that they are fixed. For instance, I'm wondering why the x86 target is stuck on 2.6.39 when Geos seems to work perfectly with 3.3.2 and other platforms are also specifying newer kernel — if the bug numbers were right there in target/linux/x86/Makefile then it would be easier to know why that is. Ideally, all platforms would use the latest kernel and not specify the kernel version at all. And if a platform does break with that, *then* it could specify a specific version... and explicitly reference the corresponding bug. -- dwmw2
