While we sometimes get laughed at for not running the latest and greatest, I am (once again) quite glad that I'm running RHEL 5 and 6 and their 2.6.18 and 2.6.3

  I'm not sure you noticed, but this doesn't affect any popular distro. It only affects the kernels build with the X32 ABI, which is not used in production by anyone as far as I can tell. So the fact that you're running old kernels didn't prevent anything this time.

  Those are patched against the myriad of bugs and vulnerabilities from the last 8 years... haha?

    As long as he's upgrading, yes they are, Red Hat fully supports those kernels.
