@Josh Brown: thx for your reaction.
I can understand that it would be a lot of work because all filesystem and utility related stuff would have to be updated also, besides the kernel backport patching.

I would very much appreciate if someone from Canonical would comment on this, as I feel when these kind of decisions are made more often, there would not be much sense in LTS desktops anymore (not on recent hardware).
And what about the fastly growing SSD server market ? Doesn't Canonical want to compete on that level ?

Ok, back to a solution: install kernel 2.6.33 from a ubuntu-kernel ppa at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline.
Would that be a wise decision? Any experiences ?
