that sums it up best in the title for the impatient. 

For the even more impatient, 3.0 came out 15 years after the 2.0 version released and Linus felt it was time... don't expect anything snazzier than you would from 2.6.39 to 2.6.40... it's the same upgrade (no 2.6.40 to be released...)

Another good summation of the versions here.

In general I would stick to the kernel updates from your distribution
unless you are doing very special things.

Note that it might be a bad idea to run 10.10 for so long: 10.10 is not
a "long term support" release, so it's probably best to keep it current.

See this page for a description of the LTS releases and expiration in
general.

<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS</a>

Vis-a-vis your updates, sometimes an explicit deliberate install of one
or two might then make apt-get install them all:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -u install linux-image-generic

and see if that changes things.
