maybe a good idea because users may often not aware that one of the latest
updates fixed 12 CVE's and there are very few breakages from the point
fedora started to push recent kernels - well i follow koji and test at
my own without to care about karma from others, but that's not everybody

BTW:
currently i have 3.9.0-301.fc19.x86_64 on two F18 machines
one of them is acting as router/vpn-gateway/firewall/WLAN-AP and personal
server including VMware workstation with a bunde of backup- and test-VM's
and after my F18-testserver-VM did run for days fine with the 3.9-F19 build
i decided today to give it a chance on my personal production machines

all fine and smooth
