We track 'linux-stable' because the ones on LMO have too much lag.

We ran this kernel on 20 different board/core combinations. They ran our 
stress test suite continuously for over a week at 100% load with no 
failures. We have high confidence in this particular release. There are 
always bugs, so your question is somewhat ridiculous. Regarding age, go 
ask the Android team why the latest KitKat release is running a 3.4.0 
kernel and not the latest and greatest.
