I was asking for a stable kernel, like 2.4, 2.2, 2.0 were
before. 2.6 is not. It's a great kernel, better than that
of MacOS X, I never said you were doing a bad job, quite
the contrary. I wouldn't be using Linux since 10 years if I
thought it stinks. I never asked support for closed source
drivers, only a stable kernel.

Whatever "stable" means.
What you mean by "stable" pretty much excludes any serious development, without which the Linux kernel would very soon be obsolete. If you want a stable system, then don't change it. If you update to a kernel which is 2.5 years newer, you simply cannot have stability, because that would mean stagnation, aka "death". 

Ciao,
