But 2.6.33 has already been released.

Graphics and kernels are tied together in a way that makes backporting
kernels more difficult. This is part of the reason that you aren't seeing
the new kernels appear in older releases as soon as they used to.
There is long discussion related to this about how the nouveau abi change
makes it hard to switch kernels on the linux kernel mailing list.

I use nouveau - and I cannot at present run 2.6.33 or 2.6.34 wihout
essentially pulling in a lot of X. Tho' according to satisfy linus'
complaint, it looks like on ecould compile the nouveau driver and use
that - however - it sure would be nice if the nouveau folks made it
easier to run both 2.6.32 and also the newer kernels on F12.
