2.6.27-rc3, "Things Really _Have_ Calmed Down"
,----[ Quote ]
| "Things really _have_ calmed down, and hopefully we've also resolved a lot of
| the regressions in -rc3," began Linus Torvalds, announcing the 2.6.27-rc3
| Linux kernel. He noted that much of the patch size was from the inclusion of
| the new ath9k wireless driver, with much of the rest of the patch size due to
| the renaming of many arch include files in the ARM, AVR32 and m68lnommu
| architectures.

Kernel Log: No unstable series; Linux 2008.7; dealing with security fixes
,----[ Quote ]
| He does not want to simply drop the 2.6 prefix – he and others do not like
| such high version numbers. That is why he is considering a model that roughly
| corresponds to the year and month – Linux 2.6.26 might then be called 2008.7.

Kernel Release Numbering Redux
,----[ Quote ]
| For many years, each Linux kernel release was assigned a series of three
| numbers, X.Y.Z, with an even Y indicating a "stable" release, and an odd Y
| indicating an "unstable" development release. Z was incremented for each
| individual kernel release.
