2.6.29 was in Sid for a while earlier this year. Obviously the kernel team has their reasons why the 2.6.31 kernel isn't in Sid ATM, but I doubt the "31" of the current stable version is the reason.
Under the old kernel development method prior to the 2.6 series the so-called "odd" kernels (1.1, 1.3, 2.1, 2.3, and 2.5) were not routinely included in Debian as a stable candidate. The third set of digits (0-xx) don't have a bearing on Debian inclusion beyond simple suitability for use/bugs, etc. At least that's how I understand it. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
