?! No! He's comparing apples and oranges because the MAJOR number of the kernel has been bumped.
If a kernel is going to crap out, it doesn't care whether it has been compiled by the machine's admin, or compiled (say) by someone at RedHat for mass "precompiled" distribution.
Assuming no faulty compilers or clashing drivers are involved, or course :-)
