 Hi,

 Should be test on test before .
 The politic of update stables kernel is far to please me , sometimes in
 middle of a stable release you bump a kernel version, almost without testing
 it .
 Now that we are in testings, you don't put new kernel on that .
 Doesn't make sense to me.

You can find it for testing here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug

That is being kept at 3.12.y until a rebase is done in the releases.

Basically it landed too late to get into Beta, and we don't want to
ship final with a brand new kernel. It will be a update after release. 
This allows the installer images to use a known stable kernel, and
folks who want the new one to get that one.

We should ship kernel 3.12 rc something, instead. Don't landed to get
into Beta is not a excuse (for me) .
Beta is for testers, nothing better to test a new kernel, and not
bumping after lunch a stable release ... , doesn't make sense to me .

It isn't an excuse.  It's being conservative.  Trying to nail a kernel
for a Fedora release is fairly difficult, given that we can't plan for
slips but we know they're coming.  What we don't know is how many, how
long, and what is going to happen upstream in bugzilla in the
meantime.

 Beta is for testers, nothing better to test a new kernel, and not
 bumping after lunch a stable release ... , doesn't make sense to me .

We'll take this under advisement for future releases.

it makes sense

if you find out too late that the new kernel has regressions
which are affecting too much users there is no way to fix
that and they all maybe are impossible to install the new
release from the ISO image

after the release even with the first yum-update you
can boot with the old one if things go wrong and write
a bugreport from a working machine
