 Yes, but "support" here means "who's working on that kernel?".

 The Manbo-Labs kernel has got two additional persons two work on
it (Shinji and Makoto), they are Turbo Linux guys.

 But the contributors' kernels stays the same: tmb and kernel-linus
are maintained by Thomas and -mm kernel by Trem.

 I think it's still true, but Thomas can answer you better I think.

 Well, we have merged Turbo Linux patches. Maybe the more
interesting changes are the tomoyo security framework and the
unicon driver (which allows one to have Chinese, Korean and
Japanese characters in text mode).

 There're other fixes and features, but you'll have to check
the changelog or wait for the release notes to know about
them.

 Right now we're in freeze phase, so we should stay stable
for a while.
