Yeah, we've been in a bind in that regard, mostly due to customer 
requirements to support Android Gingerbread.  At least we were able to 
drop Froyo support this time around. :-P

Going forward, though, we'll be tracking much newer kernels for our 
development, and hopefully getting patches out more frequently as well.
