 Of course they will, but I don't see RHEL6 jumping from 2.6.32 to 3.x 
 during it's production life, and RHEL7 isn't due for at least another 
 couple of years, possibly longer. Either way, whether they will shift 
 the distro kernel is largely irrelevant. What IS important in this case 
 is whether 3.0 will work on the current stable distro with at most 
 minimal userspace changes. As I said before, if current stable distros 
 will work fine with a vanilla 3.0.x kernel, then I would completely 
 support that, but that is something that needs to be assessed.
