Of course, Linus has expressed interest in getting more frequent
code-freezes, which would mean more frequent "stable" releases. There
isn't really a *need* to have more than 99 levels between stable
releases.
Basically, I think we should
a) start with a stable kernel
b) decide which features go into the next stable kernel
c) work these into a development tree
d) get it stable
e) make a new stable release
in the meantime, those unfortunate souls who don't get their features in
at point b) would have to work on it separately, and if they have a
nice, almost-there patch at point e), they will be ahead in the line
when point b) recurs.
Anyway,
