The OS update is done through a seperate channel.  The releases I make
(like this) are considered experimental.  Often they find their way to
the experimental FTP site BEFORE they are included in an official
patch.  

I'll make a noiseier announcement about this kernel update in a bit -
some ppl found it before I was ready :)

As for other goodies - I'm not sure exactly what you want?   I don't
make OS updates - I just help make teh stuff that goes into them.  Are
you asking why we don't put the Raq3 OS Update on the experimental FTP
site?  

If so, I'm not sure.  I know that a LOT more goes into an official OS
update than just RPMs :)
