2.6.18 is really old
While 2.6.18 is old, RHEL5 kernel is not. Red Hat guys backport bugfixes, features and drivers from newer kernels, so it's relatively modern and up-to-date kernel.

that leaves out the enterprise kernels from other distros (debian? ubuntu? suse?)
RHEL5-based OpenVZ kernel should run fine on the abovementioned distros, it is not just for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. And since we have a limited resources currently we can not suggest anything better than to actually use this kernel on such distros.

Would you have a timetable for 2.6.32?
The work is not even started, and unfortunately I can not give any estimations.
