when will elementary OS get kernel 4.10 as part of the default installation?
It is not at all likely that 0.4 loki gets kernel 4.10 as the default kernel. However, you can install it via
sudo apt install linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge

This is not recommended, it does not allow for upgrading various dependent packages in the same way. See elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/11958/…– Lewis Goddard ♦May 17 '17 at 16:50
I am running Linux 4.11.0 and 4.10.15 on my eOS Loki. I am using a customized kernel made by Xanmod. You can visit his webpage here: https://xanmod.org/
