The simple reason we do not intend to use the latest version is we run

As for the changeset by guninski , i wish to ask about a one point
source of applying all the patches for 2.4.28 .I mean shouldn't all
the kernel security patches ( atleast the ones that have become CVE's)
be a part of kernel.org .Since there isn't any what is the reason ?
It is "part of kernel.org", it's called 2.4.32. The kernel developers
can hardly be expected to release a patch for every vulnerability
against every possible kernel version ever released..
If you need guaranteed security patches against a specific version of
the kernel you should likely be using a distribution kernel and not a
vanilla kernel.
