I don't think a kernel or libc should be "interesting" and the only 
reason to change them should be to get one that works with new hardware. 
   Server apps also tend to be mostly feature-complete even in old 
versions.  However desktop apps are evolving rapidly and there really is 
a missing spot in fedora/rhel style distributions since nothing provides 
both kernel/core library stability and current application versions.
