I'm not convinced that the kernel version examples need to be updated all that often - but I don't see that it hurts anything either. One thing, though:

A more useful exercise would have been to update things for the post-2.6 era; there will be no more "final 2.6.x" releases. Would you be interested in cleaning up that kind of stuff? Otherwise I guess I'll get to it eventually.
One other thing:

Here you took out the 2.6.34.x stable updates, but left that last sentence as a sort of dangling reference. If we really need to pull this forward, let's do the whole job.
Thanks,
