I think we should wait for 2.6.33.2 and maybe even longer. There's no need to hurry. Moving the kernel will also force us to move mesa/libdrm for new nouveau and ati drivers.
That definitely won't happen, as these packages don't work at all for me - the X server simply crashes within a few minutes.
You cannot move the .33 kernel without the corresponding Xorg packages. There's an Intel driver update pending that Jan wants to do. Xorg with KMS just depends deeply on the kernel drm interface. So far I don't know of any useful crash reports in our tracker. Neither for Nouveau/Ati nor Intel. And there's definitely no need to rush. The kernel and Xorg are independent from all other rebuilds. But for sure they should be moved before mesa7.8 and Xorg1.8 will go to testing. -Andy
