is the tickless kernel now the "standard"?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  given that ubuntu ships with the kernel configured for tickless
behaviour, and that RHEL6 also ships tickless, is it safe to say that
tickless is now the standard configuration?  is there a compelling
reason to *not* run tickless with the latest 2.6 kernels?
