I agree with that. We are too few kernel hackers to finish one of the
older kernels on our own. Our only chance to get a FOSS-friendly kernel
where all the peripherals are supported is to let the paid Meego folks
do the grunt job. Once we have such a kernel, I'm the first one who
will ask for stabilization instead of tracking upstream, but I don't
see such a kernel just yet.

Cheers,
