Because I am doing support for enterprise customers who are using
distributions based on these kernel versions. These are SLE 9 and SLE

I've heard embedded developers report many times that they had to stick
to older 2.6.x kernels too for various reasons. Not everyone is using a
recent 2.6.x kernel, which makes it hard to draw a line between what
should be considered old ones and what should be considered new ones.
