Hi,

2.6.31 is currently in testing phase upstream, as well as F12, so
don't expect to see it in the stable F11 (at least in the next few
weeks). It's place is in rawhide. F11 is based on 2.6.29 and 2.6.30
has been pushed to updates-testing to avoid forcing the user to
upgrade to rawhide if a new driver is needed. So F11 is not stuck at
2.6.29 and maybe it will migrate to 2.6.30 in the future. The kernel
upgrades are a serious business and it's normal for the developers to
be more conservative.

By the way, if you experience any problems with rawhide, report them
on bugzilla, not on the mailing lists. Or at least at Fedora-testing
:)

Cheers,

Georgi
