Well, generally I upgrade the OS on my machine at least once, and usually
twice, a year (because I do development and need latest and greatest linux
goodies) so by the time all the bugs are worked out its on to the next kernel

effort, especially with Reiserfs in there, its not like I ever loose a file
if it hangs on resume...
