lts is not for everyday desktop usage.

By the way,  there should be a way to get older with something like that
pacman -S kernel26-2.6.32.6-1

In my mind, when package version is specified, pacman look if the asked
version is in the repo, and get it if there is such a version.
Lot of app would only provide the current version, but some critical app,
like kernel, could provide one or two older version. Just by letting them in
the repo.

But maybe I'm totally wrong, and this will not work cause every kernel
module work only with the current one.
