+Two things:

+ There are not so big changes between kernel releases these days.

+ say that 2.6.39 is an unstable kernel ? (the bunch of kernel developers
+ did not). I repeat, from 2.6.39 to 3.0.0 there are no more important
+ chages than from 2.6.38 to 2.6.39.
+
+&gt;<i> metapackages exist is a different thing. I still believe that, even in cauldron,

+</I>
+- but in cauldron you have _infinte_ kernel branches, as no kernel is uninstalled
+ when you get a new one. The all stay there. The kernel-latest meta package
+ only assures you that you get the new one when it is released. If they
+ dissapear in your box, that is a separate bug.
+ Check you /etc/sysconfig/installkernel. There you can even say that the
+ new kernel is installed but not set as default (NOLINK).
