      Distros always lag behind mainline by few releases so that most of bugs are caught before they hit them.
      This might be good for distributions and their reputation, but it likely slows down the development and definitely slows down feedback that users give to kernel devs.
      I personally run latest linuses branch on most of my machines, latest -next branch on my laptop. And I don't just cry when it doesn't boot, I report it.
      Since I update weekly (git pull), sometimes spotting a bug is as easy as "git log | grep subsystem", sometimes as "hard" as git bisect over 3-4 iterations.
      Lately I haven't had a luck to boot into completely broken system (even on -next), so I guess devs are doing something right (or maybe they don't push agressively enough :-)).

        I think Fedora22 already ships with 4.0 prerelease
