don't count on it, I'd give it a few more stable kernel releases...
experience shows that such things inch towards usability.

I'm stuck here with 2.6.7 with several patches on different setups,
and I know how long it can take to get a system both running smoothly
and full hardware support:

My desktop system is an epia-m which needs a patch for integrated
graphics, last patch available for kernel 2.6.7

One of my USB hubs is supported since 2.6.6

External USB/IDE devices with genesys logic chipset are supported
since 2.6.9, but have run smoothly on my system since 2.6.pre thanks
to some weird no-name USB hub.

ACPI on my laptop ... 

you get the picture :)
