We still need 2.6.x.y updates on a more official footing and with more than one person as the "2.6.x.y" maintainer. I think that is actually more important. The 2.6.<odd> thing is essentially irrelevant. You are just relabelling pre and rc to even and odd. It won't fool anyone into testing it more.... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
