I'm sure someone responded to this already, but this is complete bull. There has been no time that I am aware of that a new kernel has been >RELEASED< to fix a security issue. There has always been >PATCHES< that were integrated into later kernel releases. Correct me if I'm wrong, and please don't consider this a troll, but this sounds like complete FUD to me. "Oh, we >CAN'T< put the new RAID in the "stable" kernel because then we wouldn't be able to correct security holes as they are discovered!!!" Please.
