AFAIK, no.. But search through the archives of the mailing list, this
subject has been brought up before. But one thing to note, is that
several of the new features of the 2.6 kernel (NPTL) are already in the
RHEL3/WBEL kernel as RedHat backported them. The purpose of RHEL3/WBEL
is to be a stable core OS that doesn't change so that it can reliably be
deployed in a server environment without worries..  If you really want
the bleeding edge software  you really should be using Fedora Core,
which Fedora Core 2 should be out relatively soon, which will have the
2.6 kernel at it's base.
