Comments?
This is surely a good idea because end users (not developers) like me would have greater possibility not to occur in a regression with an even release.
What I would like to see as an enduser is (dreaming): kernel 2.6.x - last released
often released (every 1-2 weeks) kernel 2.6.x.z
containing just the answers to the often repeating
lkml questions which are answered with "use $this simple patch"kernel 2.6.y-pre/rc/bk - development, working towards 2.6.y
in practice your proposed 2.6.even changes, but these continued until the next kernel is released, not stopped after 1-2 weeks with the worst fixes.
(a bit like the -as series, but with the "official blessing")
