I install new software if I know, what I am doing, if I don't care about the results or if I trust someone else. The plain vanilla X.Y.Z kernels are usually tested well enough that I trust Linus. The pre-Kernels are the testing ground, how should someone with limited knowledge install these on an important machine? Of course, if I know what I am doing, this does not apply. J�rn -- Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers.
