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, ~kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
