That should be ... interesting, given
this post. I believe it was Hootiegibbon that told me in IRC a couple of days ago that all kernels prior to 2.6.37 would be unsupported within a week.
edit: While I understand that support gets dropped, esp. in a rolling release distro, that's still something of a shame. I'd love to have PCLOS running e17 with a power-saving kernel on my lappy. I guess it'll just have to wait for kernel 3.1
