and instead of living out your feelings, report bugs what is wrong with
2.6.22 kernel (in lists or http://bugs.pld-linux.org/). 2.6.16 is at

do have 2.6.22 kernel, do you shout there too?
So what?
Why not upgrade glibc in ac to 2.7? and XFree to xorg - they are also
very old. This is STABLE so minor updates or security updates are
welcome. bugs.pld-... is not the place for this request.
glibc = would break 2.4 kernel compatability (afaik already glibc 2.4 required
2.6.0 kernel), that has been accidentally already broken several times.
intentionally broking it would be evil.
xorg 7.0 = too much to rebuild with so less gain, and so far there's no binary
incompatibility that i've encountered using X11 (aka xorg 6.9).
and kernel update is needed to let ac live a little longer. as there's need to
support newer hardware. it was considered dead already time it was released.
and some major changes like updating glibc or gcc would mean changing the
distro, i.e dropping some architectures and 2.4 kernel compatability.
What are the super-hiper features with new release of kernel??
Remeber - no xorg - no compiz - no fun - kernel upgrade wont help
Old glibc - new kernel - compatibility emulated - what new features?
Usability with current hardware. Disk controllers, Ethernet adapters
etc.
Any volunteers to backport those new drivers/driver updates to 2.6.16?
new tg3
new ich9 intel
new 3ware
ipsec compatibile with 2.4
latest 2.6.16.60 is with my patches for new hardware.
And, 2.6.22 has ALL hardware modules that was in 2.6.16.60 ?
iptables is compatibile?
ipsec is compatibile?
