a relatively current release will be chosen yes. Now "last formal" is

(but 2.6.38 will be out very shortly before 1.2 ships, so picking
2.6.38 would not be the smartest thing in the world)
It does - we would'nt decide on a reference kernel at the time of
shipment right? We'd do it when Trunk opens up. so using MeeGo 1.2 as
an example - we'd look at the formal kernel released at
~2010-09-30(MM1) and release with that kernel at 2011-04-21 (date for
MM5). You'd as well not pick on a rc either given that the rc to
formal release date is really not predictable from a distro perspective.
actually that's extremely predictable... 84 days +/- 3 days for the last
5 years ;)
I'm quite comfortable picking a kernel that's in -rc when we start the
development cycle (which is 6 months after all)... if the kernel is at
-rc3 or so at the start of a 6 month cycle... 5 to 6 weeks later the
final is there. That's quite ok with me.
during the -rc's only some 10.000 lines of code change at most, not a
big deal... (measured that from an -rc2 to final)
(stable releases sometimes change more than -rc's do ;-)
