Hehe, I had a 9.3 system (2.6.11.4) with an uptime of > 1000 days before power 
outage, and one 11.1 (2.6.27.56), that has an uptime of 1029 days now. While 
git brought in many good aspects, the gain in development speed resulted in 
noticeable decrease of long term stability. And the kernel is a pretty well 
managed project still, compared to other related ones..

The ramifications of udev and initrd where tiny, given what systemd has caused 
to openSUSE lately, combined with the (nowadays) usual nfs and autofs 
dysfunctions.. It all made 13.1 sucking rocks.
