WTF? We do this quite regularly... the rc's have been pushed in cooker
and I'm pretty sure cauldron in the past. The fact that this is 3.x.x
rather 2.6.38 is pretty much a whim of numbering and nothing
specifically relating to anything "significant" or similar.

And who cares if -latest is updated. Your old kernel is not removed and
TMB gave you forewarning about it.

This is really one of the lamest complaints ever!!!
