    In other words, we'd have an increasing level of instability with an odd
    release number, depending on how long-term the instability is.

    - 2.6.: even at all levels, aim for having had minimally intrusive
    patches leading up to it (timeframe: a week or two)

    with the odd numbers going like:

    - 2.6.: still a stable kernel, but accept bigger changes leading up
    to it (timeframe: a month or two).
    - 2..x: aim for big changes that may destabilize the kernel for
    several releases (timeframe: a year or two)
    - .x.x: Linus went crazy, broke absolutely _everything_, and rewrote
    the kernel to be a microkernel using a special message-passing version
    of Visual Basic. (timeframe: "we expect that he will be released from
    the mental institution in a decade or two").



    he he :)
