There is zero chance of a x.<odd number>.y kernel going into any Red Hat Linux release. Kernels with odd numbers in the minor version are specifically unstable development kernels by definition, and regardless of what good or experiences any individual experiences while using them on a specific computer or computers, the development kernel series is unsuitable for widespread deployment in a stable operating system environment, and there is no chance of it ever occuring in an official supported Red Hat Linux OS release. -- Mike A.
