Because RedHat have other things to package up, as well as the kernel. As long the
supporting utilities are recent enough, upgrade it yourself, if your machine is fast
enough, you can have a new kernel running in under 10 minutes[1]. Also, the fact that
both Mandrake and RedHat patch the living &_)(&)(*[2] out of the kernel as well, means
that they need to stay a few releases behind, so they can apply the patches, perhaps
change them so that the patched-kernel is stable.
Again, I'm not going to scream, that's better done over a beer. :-)

[1] Well, I can, anyway.
[2] Yes, it's valid Perl (almost.)
