Fedora 6: leave on 2.6.22 until end-of-life
There are so many workarounds and backwards-compatibility issues in there that it just doesn't seem worthwhile to upgrade.
Fedora 7: update to 2.6.23 after Fedora 8 is released
May as well update, the issues aren't nearly so great and users will probably want the latest kernel.

Sounds right to me. And if it makes anyone feel any better, I've been running a rawhide ppc64 kernel on F7 base for a while now with no issues.

Just wondering: Why wait for F8? Seems 2.6.23 is 1-10 days away. So it we quickly ship it in updates-testing (and updates proper maybe a week or two after if not to many bugs show up there) for F7 we might hit and fix some more kernel bugs in F7-testing/F7 and get those fixes into the F8 kernel as well, which results in a better kernel for both F7 and F8.
