Should SUBLEVEL be removed for 3.x ?

Hi
If the plan is that the new kernel is going to be 3.0 (3.x) and the
-stable kernels then get to tack on a third digit with EXTRAVERSION, then
it seems to me that the main Makefile should get rid of SUBLEVEL - or?
Or is the plan to ditch EXTRAVERSION for -stable kernels and have them use
SUBLEVEL instead?
There are a few scripts that need fixing if SUBLEVEL goes the way of the
Dodo, but I didn't want to start fixing those without a clear indication
of whether or not SUBLEVEL is going to/should die.
So what's going to happen to SUBLEVEL/EXTRAVERSION?
