Wouldn't it make sense to avoid the need to do this in the future?
Specifically, make a tree named "linux" available - that's always the Linus tree.
Create linux-2.6/2.8/3.0/3.2 etc as they are handed off to maintainers *other* than Linus?
Or some combination that makes sense. It just seems weird to me to need to continually change the name of the main development tree.
