I recommend it because there are situations where you can not always
use the latest kernel. In my case I use an openvz kernel which only
goes up to 2.6.27.21 and only within the last 2 or so months was that
usable before that I was stuck at 2.6.26 for months. For the OP I
assume they want to stick with 2.6.18 that their version of Centos
provides and this way provides the latest v4l drivers without the need
to change the kernel.
