I am curious:
What if a security problem is found with the kernel that ships with, for
example, slink, and the problem is only fixed in the 2.2.x kernel series.
You can't simply add a new kernel package to slink to fix the bug, because
kernel 2.2.x breaks some of the other packages included with slink.  What
happens in this case?  Are those packages upgraded too?
