Because of their build processes and because each distributor wants to build in patches etc. they are hell to rebuild / upgrade.

The problem is - the release cycle of Ubuntu every six months means it probably won't suit :( If there is long term support / enterprise server support for an Ubuntu release (which is planned for next October's release) then this problem may go away and we may be able to come to some agreement. Better to use a tested and stable kernel in stable whenever it is released rather than trying to synch to current kernels sometime too close to release time just for the sake of releasing a semi-current kernel. Two months/four months/six months - provided its stable it doesn't matter how old it is at the precise moment of release.
