The kernel used to follow the odd/even numbering scheme but they
stopped doing that during the 2 series of kernels. It is possible they
are doing it again. I haven't looked at kernel release numbering in
quite a few years.
No. That was abandoned years ago, after the release of 2.6, in favor of
a stream of smaller, incremental steps rather than periodic huge jumps
that took years to be adopted. The 3.0 release could easily have been
numbered 2.6.40, being only an incremental change over 2.6.39.
