Another reason to go to 2.0.14 is that xmix (and who knows what else)
got broken somewhere in the 2.0.x development, but is working again
in 2.0.14.

BTW, that is the only problem I have seen in 2.0.x (I am not a power
user).
Maybe there have been more patches to what was supposed to be a stable
kernel
than there "should" have been, but I still crash windoze a lot more
often
than linux.
