F-10 kernel upgrade

[Denis Leroy <denis poolshark org>]

I'm seeing a lot of regressions with the 2.6.29 update to F-10 here. GDM 
doesn't always log me in (it hangs after the password is entered, 'top' 
doesn't show any stuck process), and when it did I had Xorg eat 100% CPU 
with little useful info in the log files.

What is the reasoning for pushing a 2.6.29 kernel to Fedora 10 (a stable 
release about half-way its lifetime) ? Was there something fundamentally 
wrong with the 2.6.27.x kernel ? Why introduce some much instability ?

I can understand there are people maybe waiting for new hardware support 
brought by this kernel, but woudn't they be better off with F-11 anyways?
