more likely, the latest ubuntu releases were based on kernels newer than 
the latest available rt tree, which creates a very complicated situation 
for distro maintainers.

with 2.6.39, most of the former rt patchset is now in mainline, and the 
big kernel lock is gone for good. that means the situation should 
improve a lot, and ease the burdon on maintainers of low-latency 
optimized packages.
