That doesn't make a lot of sense... what "M. Carling" asked was that
support for new hardware not be included in stable kernel sets... that
doesn't implu removinf old hardware support from development kernel sets.
If I'm missing something, let me know what it is.

I'm not sure that limiting stable kernels that much is a good idea, but
this is definitely not the right argument against it.
