+WTF? We do this quite regularly... the rc's have been pushed in cooker
+and I'm pretty sure cauldron in the past. The fact that this is 3.x.x
+rather 2.6.38 is pretty much a whim of numbering and nothing
+specifically relating to anything "significant" or similar.
+
+And who cares if -latest is updated. Your old kernel is not removed and
+TMB gave you forewarning about it.
+
+This is really one of the lamest complaints ever!!!
