No good reason, just hadn't run into any reasons to update; switching kernels is nonzero cost since the machine in question runs some out of tree modules ergo updating is slightly more involved than "make && make install". Above and beyond the costs of rebooting and losing state. Actual bug is obviously a good reason to update though. -andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
