    The average user and lkml reader, perhaps. But I don't understand
    why Linus refuses to use proper -preX/-rcX naming, it would
    clear up a lot of confusion imho. It's just the logical thing
    to do, Marcelo gets it completely right. That -rcX and -rcX+1
    differ in what they mean is really confusing and opposite of
    basically anything else out there.

    With the 2.6.x-release tree and proper -pre/-rc naming, I would
    be perfectly happy :-)
