Can you state an advantages of this being the other way around.
Say I use a 2.4.x kernel and its been running for a year. Mayby a reboot
here / there for security updates or small hardware changes. Why would I
change this into a newer untested kernel or compiler ?
I get the point. Does this mean that one won't find a new install
using any Linux before 2.6.x these days, unless when using old
hardware?
