And that professionalism comes in form of distributors like Redhat/Mandrake/whoever. When they release updated kernels those kernels work as you'd expect.
I don't think you should expect every "business" to go compile every single kernel update that comes along except of course when there are some serious security/whatever issues involved - in which case the distributor releases an updated kernel.
People who like to experiment or live on the edge compile and use all the hottest kernels and they are also the ones who report of problems, which then get fixed. I don't know how professional this is but I'm happy to see new kernels being released often rather than waiting and wondering for weeks/months if there's going to be a new release some day or not.
Hmm, my first post, hope this works.. :-)
