Hi, folks!
Well, jumped again to the Lion boat, using Bronzovka's 10.7.4 hybrid 32/64bit kernel. It boot faster than AnV's legacy kernel for Snow Leopard and, in this couple of days i've been running it, it has proven itself even more stable, if that's possible. Way to go, Bronya! So now my days of Snow Leopard are definitely behind. I'll miss Front Row (kind of: QuickTime codec support is pretty lame and perian wasn't playing nice), but i'm so much used now to this newer OSX interface (thanks to ML) that i frequently was finding myself missing natural scroll, launchpad and my iCloud goodies. Not to mention the lot of apps that now i can use because of the widespread OSX10.7 or newer paradigm in the App Store.
Ergo, so long, Snow Leopard. Was a nice time.
I'm using it in 32-bit mode with 64-bit process support, just like i did with 10.6.8. No apocalyptic graphics artifacts with my nVidia GeForce G210 (like i had with 10.7.4's IiTz ShAnE's 64-bit kernel: sorry, man) and the performance is really consistent with which i had with 10.6.8. I think the shutdown time could be faster (in Snow Leopard it was instantaneous) but that's OS version's fault, not kernel's.
I confess: i'm not intending to update it to 10.7.5 for now, since my experience with the newer version was rather frustrating on my AMD rig (i was using my own connactic 10.7.5 kernel, made from R:A:W's 10.7.4 sources, which hadn't the built-in opcode emulator). If some nVidia users report success with 10.7.5, though, i'll be tempted.

UPDATE 1: VMWare Fusion still gives me a KP, just like before with 10.6.8 and AnV's legacy_kernel.
UPDATE 2: All my games work as fine as possible with the hardware i have. Bioshock runs with all configs maxed, while it didn't even open on 10.6.8.
UPDATE 3: My first seemingly random KP in 72 hours: happened when i was trying to install a 10.7.4-compatible Sleepenabler (there aren't many around, and i used that:

Unfortunately, i wasn't in verbose mode, and log log of it persisted in my system, so i cannot be sure of what caused it, since it just repeated the process and nothing happened.
