| 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.
