explain? and here you don't want security updates?

from ac side by the current plan 2.6.16 kernel will be moved to ac-supported.

2.6.22 update is to stay alive. 2.6.16 isn't anymore in suse's interest: 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git;a=summary

also the lvm 2.01.15 in ac was updated in 2005/10/19, it is reported causing 
hungs on resize. nobody will try to debug or fix such dead old code.

and what's the use of distro whose default kernel doesn't install to your new 
hw?
