Normally I update every morning because, being retired, I have the time 
to keep my box properly updated.  (Letting it run while breakfast's 
cooking helps.)  At least on in three times that there's a new kernel, 
the kmod isn't ready until the next morning.  And, as I live in 
California and I'm not exactly an early riser, I doubt that I'm getting 
the kernel right after it's released, but it's always possible.
