There is not [0].

Dapper is 2.6.15 [1]
Edgy is 2.6.17 [2]
Feisty is currently 2.6.20. [3]

I am running Feisty (7.04) on my main desktop and it only rarely breaks,
and usually that's due to me running the packaged nvidia blob and
needing the -generic kernel for SMP support.

Worth a go if you're feeling brave.
