I had just downloaded the patch for 3.6.10, when I saw 3.7. Before upgrading 7 machines to any, I decided to ask about some doubts, because do not yet fully understand.
In https://www.kernel.org/, it is marked:
Latest Stable Kernel: 3.6.10
mainline: 3.7 2012-12-11
stable: 3.6.10 2012-12-10
Found "releases" for both:
3.6.10: http://www.mail-archive.com/stable@vger.kernel.org/msg25558.html by Greg
(also at http://www.kernelhub.org/?msg=177289&p=2)
3.7:http://www.kernelhub.org/?msg=177486&p=2 by Linus
Thus, Linus releases the mainline (first release *is* already considered stable?) and only after Greg releases the following stable ones?
A side note:
In "Upgrade Warning !!!" http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1212.0/03194.html: "... you have exceeded your email Database limit of 500 MB quota and your email IP ..."

LFS uses both mainline and stable kernels, depending on whichever is newer. I don't think I'd be comfortable putting an LFS release out with a mainline (non-stable) kernel, but they're reliable enough for development, and the 1st stable kernel is normally only a couple of weeks away.
So, I'd recommend you use 3.7 after testing it on one of your machines first.

That's a fairly obvious spam. I would not recommend clicking on the Google Docs link in that message, and especially not from a Windows machine!

Thanks, Matthew.
I have not yet done, because I decided to transform a fat32 (292G) into ntfs, had some problems finding which programs to install in LFS to do it (I use gparted, needed some runtime dependencies), am now copying back the fat32 data into the ntfs partition, only after I will try kernel 3.7.
Now 3.6.10.
