That is not a bad consideration to make, honestly.  Wait until the RH
experts on the list have ported the the LVM changes to their heavily
patched kernels.  For good reason, Red Hat kernels go through some
extensive customization for the benefit of the paying customer.  LVM and
Sistina can't very well keep up with all of the incompatibilities that
this eclectic set of patches may introduce to the vanilla kernel.

IMHO, Heinz made a perfectly reasonable and logical statement about the
LVM Team's development policy.  RH developers are responsible for
"keeping up with the Jones'", not Sistina.

I run a vanilla kernel w/o any patches and LVM performs just fine for my
needs.
