here here!
i mean, wtf? I posted about this in the -as adoption thread a while back but it got lost in the plague. why adopt a security fix patcheset as standard and then not keep up to date with it?
it defeats the point surely!?

Agreed, Dibble...
If they fail to keep up to date, I'll switch to the MM patchset. Thank the gods for GRUB. 8)

I've been to a talk of Alan Cox on FOSDEM 2005 about the kernel development. If you want to have the latest and greatest kernel with all security fixes, you should run the 2.6 -ac branch. He doesn't keep backported versions, but only works with the latest kernel branch and patches that one for security and reliability.
The -as series we're using is somewhat the same, but with one difference: it's meant to be a 2.6.10 kernel with all backports of security issues to keep a stable kernel that doesn't change between releases.
