Confusing because 2.6-pre referred so far to the releases immediately preceding 2.6.0. Inconsistent because it requires the downloader to have preliminary knowledge about what the break point is. Unstable because, while you consider pre20 to qualify as "old" today, in 5 years you will want pre30 to qualify as "old" instead, meaning that tools such as ketchup would have to be updated once again. I think we want to come up with a directory structure which won't change in the future. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
