My F10 box is happily running a kernel.org 2.6.28.2 kernel (even though 
I had to build it on an FC6 system and copy it over, but that's another 
ongoing story). Same story with my F8, and F7 boxes. My wife's F9 laptop 
is running a Fedora kernel.

I personally don't want fedora source to contain any changes that aren't 
in the upstream code.

Regards,

John
