2.6.14 for FC3 isn't planned, as far as I know.
Correct. FC3 will stay at 2.6.12 until end of life.
Any remaining kernel updates will likely be security errata only
at this point.

Hm, OK. We'll probably need poked again if/when that happens.
FC4 will continue to rebase to newer upstream kernels until a few
months before its end of life. (As has happened with FC3).
