Ben,
  Thanks for the clarification. I understand what will be released is a long 
way off. Was trying to understand what will be the driver code base for Jessie. 
I would assume say, you do pick 3.9 for testing, then the driver code base will 
be that off 3.9 (pardon me if I am stating the obvious). Am I right?

Thanks,
Sarvesh

I think you misunderstand.  This is not a decision about what to release (it's 
much too early for that).  New kernel versions uploaded to unstable should 
transition into testing automatically when ready.  Since
3.8 failed to build on powerpc and so was never ready for testing, the first 
version to make that transition will be 3.9 (hopefully!).

Ben.
