I'm no kernel pro but why do you think the 3.2.0-23 kernel is a development kernel? – Christopher Perrin Aug 02 '12 at 14:47

To put this stuff in a real answer: You have a production version. Linux version numbering has changed a lot and the odd/even method haven't been used since 2.6.0 has been published years ago, as there are no development kernel versions anymore like in 2.3.x or 2.5.x
In 3.x the x has the same meaning as it had in 2.6.x, and it's just an increasing number, with 2 following 1.
