The 2.6.27 merge window closes
,----[ Quote ]
| On July 28, Linus Torvalds released the 2.6.27-rc1 prepatch and closed the
| merge window for 2.6.27. That means we now know what will be in this kernel,
| which will probably be released sometime in October. Recent cycles have
| featured a lot of internal cleanup and relatively few new features, but
| 2.6.27 will reverse that trend somewhat. Linux users will see a lot of new
| things here.

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.
