Perhaps someone can explain why this makes more sense than just using the .33 (or .34) kernel? Here is my perspective: what most techies love about linux is the ability to know exactly what is going on in the software. I can go to h-online.com, or kernelnewbies.org, or even kernel.org and find out exactly what a new kernel is going to do for me. Sometimes I even use or need some of these cutting edge features. When Canonical (or Redhat) create a "special sauce" kernel consisting of a little bit of this and a little bit of that, I have no idea what I'm actually getting. It makes the whole thing more Microsoft black-box-like.
