What's your system show in terms of kernel memory use? Are you doing 
anything with it, like compiling or lots of web serving? If it's just 
idle, it'll probably stay up indefinitely, but the problem is that if you 
use it, the memory leak in the kernel will keep eating more and more 
memory until you eventually crash.

Now, if someone running something new says that their kernel memory is NOT 
increasing after x days doing lots of stuff, then I'd be VERY interested 
in trying 2 or current again.
