It depends on what you are talking about.
Pls look again at http://www.kernel.org/:
	The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is:  	 2.6.17.9
	The latest prepatch for the stable Linux kernel tree is: 2.6.18-rc4
	The latest snapshot for the stable Linux kernel tree is: 2.6.18-rc4-git1

kernel.org *stable kernels* are well defined. And we have the same with OFED
releases and it is not different - so are you saying Woody can just take latest
OFED release?  If so I agree.

But *development* is not usually done on stable tree - it is merged there.
See the difference?
